Tom wants to open a store that sells hats. He thinks that he can sell them for $20 each. He estimates his monthly expenses to be

$3,000, and it will cost him 8$ per hat. Tom wants to analyze his estimated revenues and expenses to see how many hats he would need to sell each month in order to break even. He uses x to represent the number of hats and y to represent an amount of money. Make an equation to find out how many hats need to be sold to break even.

The equation 8x+3000=20x determines that Tom needs to sale 250 hats in order to break even.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Selling cost of each hat = $20

Monthly expenses = $3000

Cost per hat = $8

Let,

x be the number of hats

y be the total amount.

Monthly costs;

y = 8x+3000

Revenue generated

y = 20x

For breaking even;

Monthly costs = Revenue generated

8x+3000=20x\\3000=20x-8x\\3000=12x\\12x=3000

Dividing both sides by 12

\frac{12x}{12}=\frac{3000}{12}\\x=250 \\

The equation 8x+3000=20x determines that Tom needs to sale 250 hats in order to break even.

frozen [14]

Answer:

$6,020,826.711

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the present value of that year salary is shown below:

As we know that

Present value in case of continuous compounding, the formula is

= \frac{Guaranteed\ amount}{e^{0.067 \times 6}}

where,

The Guaranteed amount is $9,000,000

The Time period is 6 years

And, the interest rate is 6.7%

Now placing these values

So, the present value is

= \frac{\$9,000,000}{e^{0.067 \times 6}}

= $6,020,826.711

It is known that 70% of the customers in a sporting goods store purchase a pair of running shoes. a random sample of 25 customer
NikAS [45]

Let x be the discrete random variable whose value is the number of successes in n trials.

The probability distribution function for x of the binomial distribution B(n,p) is defined as

B(n,p)= nC_xp^x(1-p)^{n-x}

Given that the random sample size is n=25

let x represent number of customers who purchase running shoes

Let "p" be the probability of customers in a sporting goods store purchase a pair of running shoes.

It is given that 70% of the customers in a sporting goods store purchase a pair of running shoes.

Thus p=\frac{70}{100}=0.7

Thus the Probability distribution of x is given by

P(X=x)= 25C_x(0.7)^x(1-0.7)^{25-x}, where x=0,1,2,3,...,25.
