Answer:
a. Based on this information, construct a linear demand equation for Yoda vs. Alien T-shirts, and hence obtain the weekly revenue R as a function of the unit price x.
- y = 640 - 80x ⇒ demand equation
- xy = - 80x² + 640x ⇒ weekly revenue
b. The university administration charges the fraternities a weekly fee of $500 for use of the Student Center. Write down the monthly profit P as a function of the unit price x, and hence determine how much the fraternities should charge to obtain the largest possible weekly profit. What is the largest possible weekly profit?
Step-by-step explanation:
first, we must determine the slope = (400 - 240) / (3 - 5) = 160 / -2 = -80
the demand equation:
y - 240 = -80 (x - 5)
y = -80x + 400 + 240
y = 640 - 80x
total weekly revenue:
xy = -80x² + 640x
xy - 500 = -80x² + 640x - 500
max. profit ⇒ x = -640 / (2 x -80) = -640 / -160 = 4
maximum weekly profit = -80($4²) + 640($4) - $500 = -$1,280 + $2,560 - $500 = $780
Answer:
The cost for painting will be $212.
Step-by-step explanation:
I am painting the walls and ceiling of a rectangular 20 x 30 ft room. The walls are 10 feet tall.
So, the total area to be painted = {2 × (20 + 30) × 10} + (20 × 30) = 1600 sq. ft.
Now, a gallon of paint covers 400 square feet and cost $53 per gallon.
So, the number of gallons of paint required will be 
gallons.
And the cost for painting will be $(4 × 53) = $212. (Answer)
For time-speed-distance problems, you use the relationship
.. speed = distance/time
in any of its various forms.
The distance traveled at A mph is
.. distance = speed * time
.. distance = A*3
The time required for the rest of the journey is
.. time = distance / speed
.. time = (C -3A)/B
The the total time required to travel C miles is the 3 hours for the first part plus the time for the rest of the journey.
.. total journey time = 3 + (C -3A)B . . . . . hours
