A company that teaches self-improvement seminars is holding one of its seminars in Middletown. The company pays a flat fee of $1

17 to rent a facility in which to hold each session. Additionally, for every attendee who registers, the company must spend $14 to purchase books and supplies. Each attendee will pay $15 for the seminar. Once a certain number of attendee register, the company will be breaking even. How many attendees will that take? What will be the company's total expenses and revenues?

Answers:

To reach the breakeven point, how many attendees will that take?  <u>   117   </u>

What will be the company's total expenses and revenues?  <u>    $1755  for each   </u>

=============================================================

Explanation:

x = number of attendees

C(x) = cost function for the company

C(x) = 14x+117

This is because the company pays $14 per person, so x of them accounts for 14x dollars. Then we add on the flat fee of $117 to get 14x+117 dollars overall.

In contrast, the revenue is

R(x) = 15x

because each attendee brings in $15 for the company

The breakeven point is when the cost and revenue are the same. This produces a profit of $0.

R(x) = C(x)

15x = 14x+117

15x-14x = 117

x = 117

If 117 people attend the seminar, then the company breaks even.

To check this, we'll compute the cost and revenue

C(x) = 14x+117

C(117) = 14*117+117

C(117) = 1755

R(x) = 15x

R(117) = 15*117

R(117) =  1755

The cost and revenue is $1755 for each. Because we get the same value, this confirms the correct x value.

Since 117 people is the breakeven point, the company should aim for an attendee count above this, so they can get a positive profit. At some point, there is a max capacity so x can't go up forever.

a bicyclist covered 5/7 of his route and an additional 40 miles. he has yet to cover 118 miles less than 0.75 of his route. how
Oduvanchick [21]

The length of the route of a bicylist that has covered 5/7 of his route and an additional 40 miles and yet to cover 118 miles less than 0.75 of his route is 168 miles.

<h3>How to form equation and solve for the variable?</h3>

The bicyclist covered 5 / 7 of his route and an addditional 40 miles.

Let

x = distance of his route in miles

Hence,

distance covered = 5 / 7 x + 40

He has yet to cover 118 miles less than 0.75 of his route. Therefore,

distance not covered = 0.75x - 118

Distance of his route = 5 / 7 x + 40 + 0.75x - 118

x = 5 / 7 x + 40 + 0.75x - 118

x = 1.464x - 78

x -  1.464x = -78

-0.464x = -78

x = 78 / 0.464

x = 168.103448276

x = 168 miles

What is the solution to y + 7 = -9 A. y = -16 B. y = -2 C. y = 2 D. y = 16
Helen [10]

Answer:

A. y = -16

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

What we do to one side of the equation we have to do to the other.

y + 7 = -9

We have to get y by itself so we have to get rid of the seven by doing the opposite of what it says

The opposite of addition is subtraction so we subtract 7 from both sides

y + 7 - 7 = -9 - 7

Solve

y + 0 = -16

Simplify

y = -16

The answer is A. y = -16

Hope this helps!

scoundrel [369]

Answer:

principal (p)=$1895

time (t)=4years

rate(r)=7.9%

Step-by-step explanation:

  • compound interest amount=p((1+r/100)^t-1)=$1895((1+7.9/100)^4-1)=$1895×((1.355)-1)=$1895×(0.355)=$672.725
  • simple interest=ptr/100=$1895×4×7.9/100=$598.82
