If the selling price is $10 and the fixed costs are $10000, and the variable costs per unit are $5, what is the break-even point

in units and in dollar sales volume?

Answer:

2000 units

Step-by-step explanation:

u = units sold

p = selling price

c = unit cost

Revenue = u × p

Costs = fixed costs + (c × u)

Profit = revenue - costs

Revenue = 10 × u

Revenue = 10u

Costs = 10000 + (5 × u)

Costs = 10000 + 5u

Breakeven means profits = 0:

Profits = 10u - (10000 + 5u) = 0

10u - 10000 - 5u = 0

5u - 10000 = 0

5u = 10000

u = 2000

To begin a bacteria study, a petri dish had 2800 bacteria cells. Each hour since, the number of cells has increased by 7.2%. Let

Rudiy27

The function that models exponential growth is:

P(t) = P0*(1 + r)^t, where

P0 = P(0) is the initial value of P

r is the growth rate as a decimal

In our case we have:

P(0) = 2800

r = 0.035 or 3.5%

P(t) = 2800*(1 + 0.035)^t

P(t) = 2800*(1.035)^t

The same exponential function written using y and t is:

y = 2800*1.035^t.

A family has two cars. The first car has a fuel efficiency of 35 miles per gallon of gas and the second has a fuel efficiency of

cestrela7 [59]

The amount of gas consumed by first and second car were 20 gallons and 15 gallons respectively.

<em><u>Explanation</u></em>

Suppose, $x$ gallons of gas were consumed by the first car.

As the total gas consumption in one week is 35 gallons, so the amount of gas consumed by second car will be: $(35-x)$ gallons.

The first car has a fuel efficiency of 35 miles per gallon of gas and the second has a fuel efficiency of 15 miles per gallon of gas.

So, the <u>distance traveled by the first car</u> in $x$ gallons of gas $=35x$ miles and the <u>distance traveled by the second car</u> in $(35-x)$ gallons of gas $=15(35-x)$ miles.

Given that, the two cars went a <u>combined total of 925 miles</u>. So, the equation will be.....

$35x+15(35-x)=925\\ \\ 35x+525-15x=925\\ \\ 20x=925-525=400\\ \\ x=\frac{400}{20}=20$

So, the amount of gas consumed by the first car is 20 gallons and the amount of gas consumed by the second car is: (35 - 20) = 15 gallons.

2x + 3 + 4x + 8 = 3x - 10

vodomira [7]

$\text {Hello! Let's solve this Equation!}$

$\text {Your First Step is to Simplify the Equation:}$

$\text {(2x+4x)+(8+3)}$

$\text {6x+11=3x-10}$

$\text {The Next Step is to Subtract 3x:}$

$\text {6x+11-3x=3x-10-3x}\\\text {3x+11=-10}$

$\text {Next Step is to Subtract 11:}$

$\text {Q: Why Subtract 11?}$

$\text {A: So they cancel out. We cross them out once we subtract.}$

$\text {3x+11-11=-10-11}\\\text {3x=-21}$

$\text {The Final Step is to Divide 3:}$

$\text {3x/3=-21/3}$

$\text {Your Answer will be}$

$\fbox {x=-7}$

$\text {Best of Luck!}$
