A small publishing company is planning to publish a new book. The production costs will include one-time fixed costs (such as ed

iting) and variable costs (such as printing). There are two production methods it could use. With one method, the one-time fixed costs will total $66,755, and the variable costs will be $12.50 per book. With the other method, the one-time fixed costs will total $23,159, and the variable costs will be $23 per book. For how many books produced will the costs from the two methods be the same?

Answer:

  4152 books

Step-by-step explanation:

As we will see when we write the equations, the number of books will be the difference in fixed costs divided by the difference in variable costs:

  (66755 -23159)/(23 -12.50) = 43596/10.5 = 4152

The costs of the two methods are the same for production of 4152 books.

__

The costs for method 1 for production of b books are ...

  m1 = 66755 +12.50b

The costs for method 2 for production of b books are ...

  m2 = 23159 +23b

The two costs are equal when ...

  m2 = m1

  23159 +23b = 66755 +12.50b

  10.5b = 43596 . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 12.50b+23159 from both sides

  b = 43596/10.5 . . . . divide by the coefficient of b

  b = 4152 . . . . . . . . . book production to make the costs the same

For 4152 books produced, the costs from the two methods will be the same.

Find the slope of the line that contains these points.(5,1) (-3,1)
shtirl [24]
Slope equals change in y divided by change in x.

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m=(1-1)/(5--3)

m=0/8

m=0

The slope is zero.

So this is a horizontal line of the form y=1

Find the selling price of a $7.50 agenda book with a 15% discount.
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

The selling price of the agenda book is $6.38 to the nearest cent.

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume that the cost price of the agenda book is 100%

∵ The discount is 15%

∵ The selling price = the cost price - discount amount

∴ The selling price = 100% - 15%

→ That means the selling price is 85% of the cost price

∵ The cost price = $7.50

∴ The selling price = 85% × 7.50

→ Change 85% to a number by divide it by 100

∴ The selling price = \frac{85}{100} × 7.50

∴ The selling price = 6.375

→ Round it to the nearest cent (2 d.p)

∴ The selling price = $6.38

∴ The selling price of the agenda book is $6.38 to the nearest cent.
