Answer:

K=20

Step-by-step explanation:

There seem to be no randomness in the question.

At 1 per minutes the arrival rate is fixed.

Then compute the average cost for each person to give a four, adding the cost of guide and time waiting cost..

Therefore, K is the number of people hoping will show up.

Number of per minute waiting

= 1/2(K-1)K.

Tour cost 20+1/20(K-1).

Cost per guest= 20/k +1/20(K-1)

If the derivative is set to Zero

K=20

NISA [10]

Answer: Choice A

Ahmed started 6 floors above ground level, then he went down 8 floors

The +6 or simply 6, is positive, so he's on the 6th floor to start. Then adding on -8, which is the same as subtracting 8, moves him down 8 floors.

6 + (-8) = 6 - 8 = -2 indicates he's 2 floors below ground level, so he's in basement level 2 (perhaps some kind of parking garage).

Factor out the GCF of the expression:
Leni [432]

Answer:

The GCF of 25 and 35 is 5.

Explanation:

One way to find the GCF is to find the prime factorization of each number. So,

25=52

35=5⋅7

Now, we can find all the factors 25 and 35 have in common. We see that 25 and 35 both have a 5, but not 52 because 35 only has one 5.

35 also has a 7, but that is not in the prime factorization of 25, so we do not include it. Since there is only one common factor which is 5, that is our "greatest common factor
