Kristin owns a bakery called Kristin's Cakes n' Such and is considering lowering the price of her cakes. Kristin polls her custo

mers and determines that she can sell 100 cakes each week when she chargers $25 each. She also discovers that for every $1 decrease in the price of the cake, she will sell 5 more cakes. At what price should Kristin sell her cakes in order to reach he maximum potential revenue?

The total revenue that is gained from the sales of the cakes is determined by multiplying the number of cakes by the price. If we let x be the number of $1 that should be deducted from the price and y be the total revenue,
                               y = (25 - x)(100 + 5x)
Simplifying, 
                              y = 2500 + 25x - 5x²
We get the value of x that will give us the maximum revenue by differentiating the equation and equating the differential to zero.
                             dy/dx = 0 = 25 - 10x
The value of x is 2.5. 
 The price of the cake should be 25 - 2.5 = 22.5. 
Thus, the price of the cake that will give the maximum potential revenue is $22.5.

Z_ {13} = 0.5,\ Z_ {17} = 2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The z-scores give us information about how many standard deviations from the mean the data are. This difference can be negative, if the data are n deviations to the left of the mean, or it can be positive if the data are n deviations to the right of the mean.

To calculate the Z scores, we calculate the difference between the value of the data and the mean and then divide this difference by the standard deviation.

so  

Z = \frac{x- \mu}{\sigma}.

Where x is the value of the data, μ is the mean and σ is the standard deviation

In this case :

μ = 12 $/h

\sigma = 2 $/h

We need to calculate the Z-scores for x = 17 and x = 13

Then for x = 17:

Z_{17} = \frac{17-12}{2}.

Z_{17} = 2.5

Then for x = 13:

Z_{13} = \frac{13-12}{2}.

Z_{13} = 0.5

Therefore the answer is:

Z_ {13} = 0.5,\ Z_ {17} = 2.5

lesantik [10]
At first, Anita looks like her account would grow faster. By month 4, shes at $1,200 while Miguel is at $400. However, Anita is only getting $200 a month. While Miguel gets double of whatever amount he has in his bank account. By month 10, Anita is at $2,400 while Miguel has $25,600. That is a $23,200 difference. So Miguel's bank account will grow faster than Anita.
