Answer:

75 is 50 percent of 150.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a pretty simple concept. First of all for this question, you should have noticed that 75 is half of 150. 50% is equal to 1/2.

There are a couple of methods you could use to solve this problem, if you are using a calculator, a simple way to solve percentage problems is to do 75 divided by 150 (in this case) which gives you 0.50.

If you do not have a calculator and you have to do this on paper, you need to do the classic proportion method. Make two fractions, 75 over 150, and x over 100. (x is what is used to represent an unkown amount.)

We are using over 100 because that is what a percent represents: an amount that is a fraction of 100. now you need to cross multiply. That would be 75 x 100. That equals 7,500. Now cross multiply the other way. That is 150x or represent 150 times x. Now solve the equation 150x = 7,500. To solve this you need to isolate the variable, x by dividing the 150 multiplying the x. That is the coefficient. the attached number next to it. After you do that, you need to divided the other side of the equation by 150. 7,500 divided by 150 equals 50.

After that you will find that the equation shows the value x = 50. You have now found the value of x.

I hope this helps :)

I) Consider the following figure,

qwelly [4]

Step-by-step explanation:

If PQRS is a quadrilateral inscribed in a circle, then the opposite angles of the quadrilateral are supplementary.

y + 68° = 180° { being opposite angles of cyclic quadrilateral }

y = 180° - 68°

y = 112°

x + 82° = 180° { being opposite angles of cyclic quadrilateral }

x = 180° - 82°

x = 98°

Hope it will help :)❤

Given the weekly demand curve of a local wine producer is p= 50-0.1q, and that the total cost function is c= 1500+ 10q, where q

Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information:

a) To express the weekly profit as a function of price

Cost =C(q) = 1500 + 10q

Revenue = p×q = (50 − 0.1q)×q = 50q - 0.1q²

Revenue = 50q - 0.1q²

Weekly profit = Revenue - Cost

P(q) = (50q -0.1q²) - (1500 + 10q)

P(q)= -0.1 q² + 40 q - 1500

However, q = 500 - 10 p using p = 50 − 0.1q

P= -0.1 (500 - 10 p)² + 40 (500 - 10 p) - 1500

P= -10 p² + 600 p - 6500

The price at which the bottle of the wine must be sold to realise a maximum profit can be determined by finding the derivative and then set it to 0

P' = 0

= -20p+600 = 0

20p = 600

p = 600/20

p = $30

The maximum profit that can be made by the producer is:

P= -10(30)² + 600(30) - 6500

P = - 9000 + 18000 - 6500

P = $2500
