Answer:

  a = 20 . . . . liters

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, multiply the equation by 30+a:

  a = 0.4(30 +a)

  a = 12 + 0.4a . . . . . eliminate parentheses

  0.6a = 12 . . . . . . . . subtract 0.4a

  a = 12/0.6 = 20 . . . divide by the coefficient of a

20 L of alfalfa must be added

_____

<em>Check</em>

  20/(30+20) = 20/50 = 40/100 = 0.4 . . . . . . answer checks OK

You just discovered that you have 100 feet of fencing and you have decided to make a rectangular garden. What is the largest are
Rudik [331]
The area is:
 A = x * y
 The perimeter is:
 P = 2x + 2y = 100
 We clear y:
 2y = 100-2x
 y = 50-x
 We write the area in terms of x:
 A (x) = x * (50-x)
 Rewriting:
 A (x) = 50x-x ^ 2
 Deriving:
 A '(x) = 50-2x
 We equal zero and clear x:
 50-2x = 0
 x = 50/2
 x = 25
 Then, the other dimension is given by:
 y = 50-x
 y = 50-25
 y = 25
 Therefore, the largest area is:
 A = (25) * (25)
 A = 625 feet ^ 2
 Answer:
 
the largest area you can enclose using the materials you have is:
 
A = 625 feet ^ 2

A caterer provides a conference banquet for a price of $40 per person for 20 or fewer people but will decrease the price by $1 p
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

The maximum revenue is $900, obtained with 30 people

Step-by-step explanation:

Naturally, the answer should be a number equal or higher than 20, because up to 20 persons, each one pays the same. Lets define a revenue function for x greater than or equal to 20.

f(x) = x*(40-(x-20)) = -x²+60x

Note that f multiplies the number of persons by how much would they pay (here, assuming that there are more than 20).

f is quadratic with negative main coefficient and its maximum value will be reached at the vertex.

The value of the x coordinate of the vertex is -b/2a = -60/-2 = 30

for x = 30, f(x) = 30*(40-(30-20))=30*30=900

So the maximum revenue is $900.

Ursula Works At A Print Shop. She Uses A Printer That Can Print 12 Pages Per Minute. Yesterday She Started Printing Flyers For A
BigorU [14]

Answer:

10:30 am.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Ursula uses a printer that can print 12 pages per minute.

Ursula started printing flyer for an order yesterday. Today at 8 am she continued working on the order, and by 9 a.m. she had 420 flyers for the order completed. The order was to print 1500 pages.

Let us find the number of pages left to print.

\text{Number of the pages left to print}=1500-420

\text{Number of the pages left to print}=1080

To find the time it will take to print 1080 pages we will divide number of pages left to print by number of pages printed per minute.

\text{Time it will take to print 1080 pages}=\frac{1080\text{pages}}{\frac{\text{12 pages}}{\text{minute}}}}

\text{Time it will take to print 1080 pages}=\frac{1080\text{pages}}{12}\times \frac{\text{minute}}{\text{page}}}

\text{Time it will take to print 1080 pages}=90\text{ minutes}

90 minutes will be 1.5 hours , so 1.5 hours after 9 am will be 10:30 am. Therefore, the job was finished at 10:30 am.
