280÷7=40.
280-80 = 200.
200×280=5,600
Length divided by scale length to find the amount that each inch scale size equals 40 yards per inch.
5 inches equals 200 yards
Then multiply length times width.
200x280=5,600 yds
Revenue = 7.5x - 100
Operation Costs = 5.8x + 79.86
To break even, operation cost = Revenue
⇒ 7.5x - 100 = 5.8x + 79.86
7.5x = 5.8x + 179.86 (Add 100 to both sides)
7.5x - 5.8x = 179.86
1.7x = 179.86
x = 105.8
This implies that the company will need to sell at least 106 items to make a profit.
The inequality that will determine the number of items at need to be sold to make a profit is x ≥ 106
The solution to the inequality is as follows
Revenue = 7.5x - 100
if x =106
Revenue = 7.5(106) - 100
Revenue = 695
Operational Cost = 5.8x + 79.86
if x = 106
Operational Cost = 5.8(106) + 79.86
Operational Cost = 694.66
Profit ≥ (695 - 694.66)
Profit ≥ 0.34
The company must sell at least 106 items to make a profit.
The premium will cover 14,400 dollars over the course of 5 years.
Machine C makes 75 candies per minute.
Machine D makes 130 candies per minute.
Difference is 55
55 * 11 minutes = 605 candies.
When looking at probabilities, two ideas are always true.
1) Any probability is more than 0.
2) The sum of all the probabilites is 1.
Idea #2 works here. (For example, think of how a die has six things and the probability of each is 1/6. So 1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6 = 1.) Let G = the probability of grape, C = probability of cherry and O = the probability of orange. From Idea #2, G + C + O = 1. Since we know G and C, then
3/10 + 1/5 + O = 1.
3/10 + 2/10 + O = 1
5/10 + O = 1
O = 5/10
Thus, the probability of an orange jelly bean is 5/10 = 1/2.
