Answer:
Sam
Step-by-step explanation:
Sam: Longest ski trail >3x x = shortest ski trail
Eli: Longest ski train< 3x
Sam is correct because the longest ski trail has to be greater than the shortest and it can't be less than.
Profit = revenue - expenses
expenses : 125,000 + 6.50x
revenue : 9x
so to make a profit, ur revenue (income) has to be higher then ur expenses
revenue > expenses
A. ) 9x > 125,000 + 6.50x
9x - 6.50x > 125,000
2.5x > 125,000
x > 125,000 / 2.5
x > 50,000......so they would have to sell at least 50,001 devices to make a profit <==
B.) the cost of making 1 device is 10% more then the company predicted....10% more then 6.50.....6.50(1.10) = 7.15.....this is the new cost of making 1 device <==
9x > 125,000 + 7.15x ....this is the inequality with the 10% more added
9x - 7.15x > 125,000
1.85x > 125,000
x > 125,000 / 1.85
x > 67,567.5......so to make a profit, they would have to sell at least 67,568 devices to make a profit <==
So use undistributive properyt]
ab+ac=a(b+c)
so factor 24a dadn 28 to find 'a' the common factor
24=2 times 2 times 2 times 3 tiems a
28=2 times 2 times 7
common one is 2 itmes 2=4
a=4
4(2 times3 times a)+4(7)=4(6a)+4(7)=4(6a+7)
To the hundredth is 2 numbers after the decimal so since the third number is a 1 and its less than 5 it does no damage to the 9 therefore you just take away the one and you have your rounded answer, 12.79
