Answer: 100 rides are needed to break even.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have given the cost function
C(x)=15x+2000 where x is the number of rides.
And rides cost 35$
⇒ revenue function would be 35 times x
i.e.R(x)=35 x , where x is the number of rides.
Break even point of a firm occurs when at a certain point x the total cost equals to the total revenue.
i.e. at break even point
total revenue=total cost
⇒35x=15x+2000
⇒35-15x=2000[subtract 15x from both sides]
⇒20x=2000 [simplify]
⇒x=2000/20[dividing both sides with 20]
⇒x=100
∴ 100 rides are needed to break even.
Let us formulate the independent equation that represents the problem. We let x be the cost for adult tickets and y be the cost for children tickets. All of the sales should equal to $20. Since each adult costs $4 and each child costs $2, the equation should be
4x + 2y = 20
There are two unknown but only one independent equation. We cannot solve an exact solution for this. One way to solve this is to state all the possibilities. Let's start by assigning values of x. The least value of x possible is 0. This is when no adults but only children bought the tickets.
When x=0,
4(0) + 2y = 20
y = 10
When x=1,
4(1) + 2y = 20
y = 8
When x=2,
4(2) + 2y = 20
y = 6
When x=3,
4(3) + 2y= 20
y = 4
When x = 4,
4(4) + 2y = 20
y = 2
When x = 5,
4(5) + 2y = 20
y = 0
When x = 6,
4(6) + 2y = 20
y = -2
A negative value for y is impossible. Therefore, the list of possible combination ends at x =5. To summarize, the combinations of adults and children tickets sold is tabulated below:
Number of adult tickets Number of children tickets
0 10
1 8
2 6
3 4
4 2
5 0
The formule is about area of a circle.
We need to solve the equation for x. Where x is the radius of the circle.
In order to solve it for x, we need isolate it for x on left side.
So, first we need to get rid pi from left side.
On dividing both sides by pi, we get
Taking square root on both sides, we get
A 5 or a queen
52 cards per deck
each card repeats 4 times
a 5 or a queen
there are four 5's and four queens
4+4=8
probablity=desiredoutcomes/totalpossible
probablity=8/52
probablity=4/26
probablity=2/13
