Answer:

Number of carnations = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of carnations school band buys from florist be x.

Cost of each carnation = $0.50

Total cost for x number of carnations = $0.50x

Also , delivery cost = $15

So, total cost on buying x number of carnations from florist = 0.50x + 15

Now,

School band sells carnations at a price of $3 each.

Total revenue they get get after selling x number of carnations = $3x

We need to find that , when will the cost of the carnations be equal to the revenue from selling them.

i.e 3x = 0.50x + 15

or 3x - 0.50x = 15

or 2.50x = 15

or x = \frac{15}{2.50}

or x = 6

so on selling 6 carnations cost of carnation reach to the point where it is equal to revenue

3^3 . x^2- 25 divided by 5 when x= 0.6
Alenkasestr [34]

Hey there!

3^3 * x^2 - 25 / 5

= 3^3 * 0.6^2 - 25 / 5

= 3 * 3 * 3 * 0.6 * 0.6 - 25 / 5

= 9 * 3 * 0.6 * 0.6 - 25 / 5

= 27 * 0.36 - 25 / 5

= 9.72 - 25 / 5

= 9.72 - 5

= 4.72


Therefore, your answer is: 4.72


Good luck on your assignment & enjoy your day!
