Answer:
x = 1, y = 60
Step-by-step explanation:
Value of new-releases (x) = $20 each
Value of classic (y) = $8 each
Total budget = $500
Equation : 20x + 8y = 500
The librarian wants to purchase maximum DVDs. She can get more DVDs of classic movies for $8 as they are less costly.
Lets assume the librarian buys at least one new-release DVD.
x=1
20x + 8y = 500
8y + 20(1) = 500
y = 60
<em>Therefore, in a budget of $500, the librarian can purchase 60 classic movies and 1 new-release.</em>

Answer:
Cross price elasticity using midpoint method = 0.56
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the mid-point method
Cross-price Elasticity of Demand = <u>% change in Quantity demanded of UPS</u>
% change of price of FedEx
%change in Quantity demanded of UPS
using Mid-point method = <u> Q2-Q1 </u> × 100
(Q1+Q2)÷ 2
= <u>1.3-1.2 </u> × 100
(1.2+1.3)÷2
= <u>0.1 </u> × 100
1.25
= 8%
% change in price of FedEx
using midpoint method =<u> P2-P1 </u>× 100
(P1+P2)÷ 2
=<u> 75-65 </u>× 100
(65+75)÷2
=<u> 10 </u> × 100
70
= 14.28%
Cross-price Elasticity of Demand = 8% ÷ 14.28%
using midpoint method = 0.56
We have been given that a rectangular yard is fenced in using 319 feet of custom fence Your friends really like the fence and decide to fence in their yard using the same fence. Their yard is similar but has a scale factor of 8/5 times the size of yours.
We are asked to find the length of fence that your friends should purchase.
Since the size of your friend's yard is
times your yard, so your friend should purchase
times the 319 feet.



Upon rounding our answer to nearest foot, we will get:

Therefore, your friends should purchase 510 feet of fence and option C is the correct choice.
Refer to the diagram below.
Because ray NP bisects ∠MNQ, therefore
∠MNP = ∠PNQ = 2x + 1.
Therefore
∠MNQ = 2*∠PNQ = 2(2x + 1) = 4x + 2.
Because ∠MNQ is given as x² - 10, therefore
x² - 10 = 4x + 2
x² - 4x - 12 = 0
(x + 2 )(x - 6) = 0
x = -2, or x = 6
When x = -2,
∠MNQ = 4*(-2) + 2 = -6°
This answer is not acceptablle, therefore x = -2 should be rejected.
When x = 6,
∠MNQ = 4*6 + 2 = 26°
Answer: x = 6, and ∠MNQ = 26°
