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.

when a plane flies with the wind, it can travel 1980 miles in 4.5 hours. when the plane flies in the opposite direction, against
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]
Velocity with wind = 1,980 / 4.5 = 440 mph
Velocity against wind =1,980 / 5.5 = 360 mph
Plane in still air - wind speed = 360
Plane in still air + wind speed =440
Adding both equations:
2*Plane in still air = 800
Plane in still air = 400 mph
Plane in still air + wind speed =440
Therefore, wind speed = 40 mph

Which sentences highlight the protection of consumer rights? Steven and Samuel are managers in different retail stores. Steven a
miv72 [106K]

The basic consumer right includes "Right to be informed" that states the availability of information required for weighing alternatives, and protection from false and misleading claims in advertising and labeling practices.

Hence, the sentence "Steven allows customers to look at different products and verify the product details before choosing a product. Steven’s priority is satisfied customers" - justifies the definition of consumer rights.

So, this above sentence highlights the protection of consumer rights.

In the rectangular prism below, the length of MR is 8 inches, the length of RS is 9 inches, and the length of ST is 12 inches.
Sever21 [200]
Unfortunately, there's no diagram here!  But the prism is described as "rectangular."  Thus, the volume is simply (length)(width)(height) cubic inches.  Multiply: (8 inches)(9 inches)(12 inches).
