Fertiliser is sold in 100kg bags labelled with the amount of nitrogen (N), phosphoric acid (P2O5), and potash (K2O) present. The

mixture of these nutrients varies from one type of fertiliser to the next. 1 bag of Vigoro Ultra Turf fertiliser contains 29kg of nitrogen, 3kg of phosphoric acid, and 4kg of potash. 1 bag of Parkers Premium Starter fertiliser contains 18kg of nitrogen, 25kg of phosphoric acid, and 6kg of potash. How many bags of Vigoro Ultra Turf and Parkers Premium Starter would you require in order to make a fertiliser mixture containing 217kg of nitrogen, 115kg of phosphoric acid, and 44kg of potash

Answer:

We need 5 bags of Vigoro Ultra Turf and 4 bags of Parkers Premium fertilizer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's first list the percentage compositions of each fertilizer type:

<u>Vigoro Ultra Turf:</u>

Nitrogen (N) = 29 kg

Phosphoric Acid (P2O5) = 3 kg

Potash (K2O) = 4 kg

<u>Parkers Premium</u>

Nitrogen (N) = 18 kg

Phosphoric Acid (P2O5) = 25 kg

Potash (K2O) = 6 kg

We can set up simultaneous equations to find out the amount of 100 kg bags of each fertilizer needed:

x = Vigoro Ultra turf (one bag)

y = Parkers Premium (one bag)

29x + 18y = 217   -Equation 1

3x + 25y = 115     -Equation 2

4x + 6y = 44        -Equation 3

Solving for x and y, we get:

x = 5

y = 4

This means we need 5 bags of Vigoro Ultra Turf and 4 bags of Parkers Premium fertilizer.

93 / 12 = 7.75

so Lester earns $7.75 a hour.

if he earns $62 how many hours did he work.

so 62 = 7.75 (h)

62/ 7.75 = 8

so he worked 8 hours.

Marginal cost At a certain factory the marginal cost is 3(q-4)^2 dollars per unit when the level of production is q units.
viktelen [127]

Answer:

a.) C(q) =  -(1/4)*q^3 +  3q^2  -  12q + OH          b.) $170

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) Marginal cost is defined as the decrease or increase in total production cost if output is increased by one more unit. Mathematically:

Marginal cost (MC) = change in total cost/change in quantity

Therefore, to derive the equation for total production cost, we need to integrate the equation of marginal cost with respect to quantity. Thus:

Total cost (C) = Integral [3(q-4)^2] dq = -(1/4)*(q-4)^3 + k

where k is a constant.

The overhead (OH) = C(0) = -(1/4)*(0-4)^3 + k = -16 + k

C(q) = -(1/4)*(q^3  - 12q^2  + 48q - 64) + k = -(1/4)*q^3 +  3q^2  -  12q  -16 + k

Thus:

C(q) =  -(1/4)*q^3 +  3q^2  -  12q + OH

(b) C(14) = -(1/4)*14^3 +  3*14^2  -  12*14 + 436 = -686 + 588 - 168 + 436 = $170

Divide the APR by 360 days and multiply it by 30 days to get the monthly interest. Each loan is usually secured by the car you bought. So we will use the secured APR.

8. Average rating secured apr: 5.85% divide by 360 multiply by 30:  0.4875% monthly rate
Cost of car: 19,725 ; sales tax: 4.75% ; down payment: 2,175

19,725 x 1.0475 =  20,661.94 - 2,175 = 18,486.94 loan amount
18,486.94 x 0.4875% = 90.12 accrued interest for the 1st month.

9. Excellent rating secured apr: 4.80% divide by 360 multiply by 30: 0.40% monthly rate
Cost of car: 15,867 ; sales tax: 5.25% ; down payment: 10% of total cost

15,867 x 1.0525 =  16,700.02 x 90% = 15,030.02 the principal balance at the start of the loan.

10. Fair rating secured apr: 7% divide by 360 multiply by 30: 0.5833% monthly rate
Cost of new car: 19,072 ; sales tax: 4.5% ; down payment: 1,200
Cost of used car: 15,365; sales tax: 4.5% ; down payment: 1,200

19,072 x 1.045 = 19,930.24 - 1,200 = 18,730.24
18,730.24 x 0.5833% = 109.25 accrued interest

15,365 x 1.045 = 16,056.43 - 1,200 = 14,856.43
14,856.43 x 0.5833% = 86.66 accrued interest

109.25 - 86.66 = 22.59 is the difference in interest accrued by the end of the first month.
