We will start with analyzing the background information into two groups, spending and revenue. (+) = revenue, (-) = spending.

<span>(-) investment-$200
(-) cost to make lemonade-$2.00 a gallon
(-) cost to make cookies-$3.25 a dozen
(-) cost of business-$205.25
(+) sale price of lemonade- $0.50 a cup
(+) sale price of cookies-$0.75 a cookie

Following does not form part of the budget.
money hoping to earn from sales-$400

Part (c) Need an equality to show the condition to earn 3 times total spent.

We see that the amount spent / earned varies with the number of items sold, namely
L=number of cups of lemonades sold,
C=number of cookies sold.
Also note that one gallon = 16 cups (US measure) =>
cost of one cup of lemonade = $2/16 = $0.125
cost of one cookie = $3.25/12
In addition, we assume "investment" is necessary to run the business.
Money spent:
S=investment+0.125L+(3.25/12)C+cost of business
=200+0.125L+(3.25/12)C+205.25
=405.25+</span>0.125L+(3.25/12)C<span>

Money earned (revenue)
R=0.50L+0.75C

To satisfy required condistion, we need
R ≥ 3S
Expanded,
0.50L+0.75C ≥ 3(</span>405.25+0.125L+(3.25/12)C)
0.50L+0.75C ≥ 1215.75+0.375L+(3.25/4)C)
Multiply both sides by 16
8L+12C - 6L - 13C ≥ 19452
and simplify
2L-C ≥ 19452

The inequality required is 2L-C ≥ 19452

The cost of making a chair is $28 correct to the nearest dollar. Calculate the lower and upper bounds for the cost of making 450

Anna71 [15]

Answer:

$12,375

$12820.50

Step-by-step explanation:

To obtain a rounded value of $28 (to nearest dollar) the lowest and highest possible value before rounding will be : 27.50 and 28.49

Hence,

Lower bound = $27.50

Upper bound = $28.49

Therefore. Cost of making 450 chairs ;

27.50 * 450 = $12,375 (lower bound)

28.49 * 450 $12820.50 (upper bound)

Suppose you know that Mr. and Mrs. Vincent have at most eight children. One day you happen to meet two girls who were the Vincen

lianna [129]

Answer:

The number of children are 4 out of which 3 are girls

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question:

P(Two randomly selected children are girls) = $\frac{1}{2}$

now,

let the number of children be 'n'

the number of girls be 'x'

thus,

P(Two randomly selected children are girls) = $\frac{^xC_2}{^nC_2}$ = $\frac{1}{2}$

also,

$^nC_r$ = $\frac{n!r!}{(n-r)!}$

thus,

$\frac{\frac{x!2!}{(x-2)!}}{\frac{n!2!}{(n-2)!}}$ = $\frac{1}{2}$

or

$\frac{x(x-1)}{n(n-1)}$ = $\frac{1}{2}$

or

2x(x-1) = n(n-1)

now

for x = 3 and n = 4

i.e

2(3)(3-1) = 4(4-1)

12 = 12

hence, the relation is justified

therefore,

The number of children are 4 out of which 3 are girls
