Jeremy opens a chocolate shop in the city. He pays $1,500 a month for rent and maintenance of the shop. The price of raw materia

ls and manufacturing the chocolates is $6,000 a month. He sells the chocolates individually and in boxes of a dozen. Jeremy understands that his business needs a little time to become a success and decides that he wants to build a customer base initially. He is happy to break even for the first year. If Jeremy sells 2,400 individual chocolates and 50 boxes a month, how should he price his chocolates to break even, given the costs? (Assume that the price of a box is the same as the price of 12 individual chocolates.)

Amount of money paid by Jeremy as rent and maintenance of shop per month = $1500
Cost of raw materials and manufacturing per month = $6000
Total cost that Jeremy has to spend per month = (1500 + 6000) dollars
                                                                            = 7500 dollars
Number of individual chocolates sold = 2400
Number of chocolates sold in boxes = 50 boxes
                                                           = (12 * 50) chocolates
                                                           = 600 chocolates
Then
Total number of chocolates sold by Jeremy = 2400 + 600
                                                                       = 3000
Now
Price of each chocolate = 7500/3000 dollars
                                       = 75/30 dollars
                                       = 5/2 dollars
                                       = 2.5 dollars
Price of 600 chocolates = 600 * (5/2) dollars
                                       = 300 * 5 dollars
                                       = 1500 dollars
Price of 12 chocolates = (1500/600) * 12
                                     = 15 * 2
                                     = 30 dollars
Then
We can say that each box of chocolate should be sold at $30. All the loose chocolates should be sold at $2.5 each.

Inessa [10]

Answer:

Sheet metal costs <u>$20</u> per square foot.

Step-by-step explanation:

7.6x - 2.3x = 106

We are finding the value of x.

5.3x = 106

Divide both sides by 5.3.

x = 106 ÷ 5.3

x = 20

Furkat [3]

Answer:

The image of \left[\begin{array}{c}4&-4\end{array}\right] through T is \left[\begin{array}{c}24&-8\end{array}\right]

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that T: IR^{2}  → IR^{2} is a linear transformation that maps e_{1} into y_{1} ⇒

T(e_{1})=y_{1}

And also maps e_{2} into y_{2}  ⇒

T(e_{2})=y_{2}

We need to find the image of the vector \left[\begin{array}{c}4&-4\end{array}\right]

We know that exists a matrix A from IR^{2x2} (because of how T was defined) such that :

T(x)=Ax for all x ∈ IR^{2}

We can find the matrix A by applying T to a base of the domain (IR^{2}).

Notice that we have that data :

B_{IR^{2}}= {e_{1},e_{2}}

Being B_{IR^{2}} the cannonic base of IR^{2}

The following step is to put the images from the vectors of the base into the columns of the new matrix A :

T(\left[\begin{array}{c}1&0\end{array}\right])=\left[\begin{array}{c}4&5\end{array}\right]   (Data of the problem)

T(\left[\begin{array}{c}0&1\end{array}\right])=\left[\begin{array}{c}-2&7\end{array}\right]   (Data of the problem)

Writing the matrix A :

A=\left[\begin{array}{cc}4&-2\\5&7\\\end{array}\right]

Now with the matrix A we can find the image of \left[\begin{array}{c}4&-4\\\end{array}\right] such as :

T(x)=Ax ⇒

T(\left[\begin{array}{c}4&-4\end{array}\right])=\left[\begin{array}{cc}4&-2\\5&7\\\end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{c}4&-4\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{c}24&-8\end{array}\right]

We found out that the image of \left[\begin{array}{c}4&-4\end{array}\right] through T is the vector \left[\begin{array}{c}24&-8\end{array}\right]

What are the coordinates of vertex J of the pre-image?(14 POINTS. PLS HELP, GEOMETRY)
DaniilM [7]
If we look at where it is now, we would have multiplied the x and y values by 1/2. since we are working backwards, lets multiply by 2 instead...giving us the vertex for the pre-image....

J is now (0, -2)      multiply by 2
J was     (0, -4)

kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

0.34134

Step-by-step explanation:

In other to solve for this question, we would be using the z score formula

z = (x - μ) / σ

x = raw score

μ = mean

σ = Standard deviation

We are told in the question to find the probability that a worker selected at random makes between $350 and $400

let x1 = 350 and x2= 400 with the mean μ = 400 and standard deviation σ = $50.

z1 = (x1 - μ) / σ = (350-400) / 50 = -1

z2 = (x2 - μ) / σ = (400 - 400) / 50 = (0/50) = 0

From tables, P(z <= -1) = 0.15866

P(z <= 0) = 0.5

Then, the probability would give us, P(-1 ≤ z ≤ 0) =0.5 - 0.15866 =

0.34134

Hence, The probability that a worker selected at random makes between $350 and $400 = 0.34134
