The table shows the total number of student applications to universities in a particular state over a period of 12 semesters. St

ates base their decisions on data like this. Suppose they decide that if fewer than 200,000 students apply during 6 or more semesters, the state will make a special effort to promote university education. Using this data, what is the population proportion of semesters for which the number of student applications is less than 200,000?
Semester Student Applications (in thousands)
1 106
2 137
3 285
4 120
5 202
6 195
7 327
8 139

A package of hamburgers contains 8 patties and costs $7.50. Part A.) Luna has to buy at least 16 packages for an upcoming picnic

Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

Part A) $p\geq 128\ patties$

Part B) She will spend more than $\$142.50$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

p-----> the number of hamburger patties

Part A) Luna has to buy at least 16 packages for an upcoming picnic

$p\geq 16*8$

$p\geq 128\ patties$

Part B) Suppose she actually needs more than 150 hamburgers. How much will she spend?

Let

c---------> the total cost

step 1

Divide 150 hamburgers by 8 (a package of hamburgers)

so

$\frac{150}{8} =18.75\ package$

round to the nearest whole number

$18.75=19\ package$ ----> the minimum number of packages

step 2

$c>19*\$7.50$

$c>\$142.50$

a lunch stand makes a $.75 profit on each chef's salad and $1.20 profit on each caesar salad. On a typical weekday, it sells bet

tangare [24]

Answer:

<em>50 Chef's salads and 50 Caesar salads should be prepared in order to maximize profit.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose, the number of Chef's salad is $x$ and the number of Caesar salad is $y$

On a typical weekday, it sells between 40 and 60 Chefs salads and between 35 and 50 Caesar salads.

So, the two constraints are: $40\leq x\leq 60$ and $35\leq y\leq 50$

The total number sold has never exceed 100 salads. So, another constraint will be: $x+y\leq 100$

According to the graph of the constraints, the vertices of the common shaded region are: $(40,35), (60,35), (60,40), (50,50)$ and $(40,50)$ <em>(Refer to the attached image for the graph)</em>

The lunch stand makes a $.75 profit on each Chef's salad and $1.20 profit on each Caesar salad. So, the profit function will be: $P=0.75x+1.20y$

For (40, 35) , $P=0.75(40)+1.20(35)=72$

For (60, 35) , $P=0.75(60)+1.20(35)=87$

For (60, 40) , $P=0.75(60)+1.20(40)=93$

For (50, 50) , $P=0.75(50)+1.20(50)=97.5$ <u><em>(Maximum)</em></u>

For (40, 50) , $P=0.75(40)+1.20(50)=90$

Profit will be maximum when $x=50$ and $y=50$

Thus, 50 Chef's salads and 50 Caesar salads should be prepared in order to maximize profit.

Anu bought an air cooler as shown below. Its water tank is in the shape of a cuboid and can take 40 litres of water. Its dimensi

Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

40 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the conversion

1 litre = 1000 cm³, then

40 litres = 40 × 1000 = 40000 cm³

The volume ( V) of a cuboid is

V = lbh ( divide both sides by bh )

l = $\frac{V}{bh}$ = $\frac{40000}{50(20)}$ = $\frac{40000}{1000}$ = 40 cm
