Answer:

  $880

Step-by-step explanation:

If r is the rent charged, then the number of $40 increments of increase will be ...

  (r -800)/40

and the number of occupied apartments will be ...

  120 -5(r -800)/40

The gross income (g) will be the number of apartments times the rent charged, or ...

  g = r×(120 -5(r -800)/40) = (1/8)r(1760 -r)

The equation describes a parabola with zeros at r=0 and r=1760. The vertex will be on the line of symmetry, halfway between those zeros. The maximum gross income will be had when the rent is 1760/2 = 880.

$880 should be charged for rent to maximize gross income.

I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

535

Step-by-step explanation:

8 x 7 = 56

15 x 17 = 255 .  255 / 2 = 127.5

15 x 17 = 255 .  255 / 2 = 127.5

15 x 7 = 105

17 x 7 = 119

119 + 105 + 127.5 + 127.5 + 56 = 535

Please Help.<br> Write the equation of linear Inequalities to represent each graph.
DerKrebs [107]

Green Line:

This is a horizontal line at x = 0, so it would be:

x ? 0      

Since the shaded area is going to the left of 0 (this means x is negative):

x ≤ 0


Blue Line:

The shaded area is below the line, so:

y ≤ mx + b

When x = 0, y is -5.

y ≤ mx - 5

From each point, you go up 3 units, and to the right 4 units, so the slope is \frac{3}{4}.


y\leq \frac{3}{4}x-5
