If you want to sell your cupcakes for $2 per dozen, you can make a profit of $160. If raise the cupcake price by
$1, you can make a profit of $216. If you raise the cupcake price by $2 (which makes them S4 per dozen) you can
make $256 profit. What is the maximum profit you can make? What should you charge for your cupcakes?

Answers

Answer 1

The maximum profit is $288, and you should charge $6 per dozen.

How to get the relation between demand and prize?

Let's assume that demand depends linearly on price, such that we can write:

q = a*p + b

where q is the demand and p is the price.

We have 3 points of that line:

When you sell at $2 per dozen, you win $160, so you sold 80 dozens.When you sell at $3 per dozen, you win $216, so you sold 72 dozens.When you sell at $4 per dozen, you win $256, so you sold 64 dozens.

The slope of the line is given by:

[tex]a = \frac{q_2 - q_1}{p_2 - p_1}[/tex]

Where these are values of demand and prize for two different points, if we use the first two points we get:

[tex]a = \frac{72 - 80}{3 - 2} = -8[/tex]

Then the line is something like:

q = -8*p + b

Remember that when p = 2, the demand is equal to 80, replacing that we get:

80 = -8*2 + b

80 + 16 = b = 96.

So the line is:

q = -8*p + b

How to maximize the profit?

Profit is given by the product between the demand and the price, so we have.

Profit = p*q = p*(-8*p + 96) = -8p^2 + 96p

We want to maximize that, notice that is a quadratic equation of negative leading coefficient, so the maximum is at the vertex, using the equation for the vertex of a quadratic equation we will see that the maximum is at:

p = -96/(2*-8) = 6

Then the maximum profit is:

profit = -8*(6)^2 + 96*6 = 288

The maximum profit is $288, and you should charge $6 per dozen.

The goal of this is to get 24 by multiplying the p value with q. q can be any number, as long as it gets to 24 in this scenario.

So your first p value is 4, so you can take 24, and divide it by 4 to get your answer.

24/4=6 then you can check it by multiplying 6*4=24. That means 6 is your first q value.

This will work for the rest of them in that table, except for the 0, because no matter what you multiply that by you cannont get 24. Try it out for yourself, goodluck!

Answer:

BRAINLIEST (will mark) Given that the point $(4,7)$ is on the graph of $y=f(x)$, there is one point that must be on the graph of $2y=3f(4x)+5$. What is the sum of the coordinates of that point?

Answers

Answer: mark me brainliest!!

2y  = 3f(4x) + 5       divide through by  2 y = (3/2) f(4x) + 5/2 

The  "4x"  part  compresses the graph horizontally by a factor of 4The "3/2"  part vertically  stretches the graph by a factor  of 3/2The "5/2"  part  shifts the resulting point up by  5/2 units Applting the first two  to (4,7)  we get  (4*(1/4) , 7* (3/2) ) =  ( 1, 21/2) 

Applying the last one, we arrive at   ( 1, 21/2 + 5/2)  = (1, 26/2)  = ( 1,13) 

The sum of the coordinates  is  1 + 13   = 14

Find the area of the composite figure.

Answers

Answer:

42cm

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm sry if I'm wrong

Answer:

42 square centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

We know all the sides of the square is 6 cm.

The side of a square and the triangle on the bottom add to 8 cm.

The bottom part of the triangle must be 2 cm.

The area of the square is 36 square centimeters as we use the formula Area = side x side for a square.

The height of the triangle is 6cm as it is as tall as the square.

The formula of a triangle is 1/2 * base * height.

1/2*(6)*(2) = 6 square centimetes.

Adding the two together,

36 + 6 = 42

Write an equation that you can use to find the value of x.

Answers

Line CA is a straight line, meaning it adds up to 180°

Line BE splits the line into two supplementary angles, because when the two angles are added together they will equal 180°

Using the rule of supplementary angles, we can then make the equation 3x + 8x + 15 = 180

Now, simplify the equation by combining like terms

11x + 15 = 180

To solve, isolate x

11x + 15 = 180
11x = 165
x = 15

   2x: 3x : 5x

⇒ (2 × 1200) : (3 × 1200) : (5 × 1200)

Tom = £2400

Thom = £3600

Answer:

The average price for all apples Mrs. Wise bought is $1.5 and this can be determined by using the unitary method.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

On Monday Mrs. Wise bought 3 lbs of apples at $4 per lb.

On Tuesday, apples were on sale for 20% off so she bought another 5 lbs.

If the price of 3 lbs apples is $4 then the price of 5 lbs apples is:

= $20/3

Now, determine the price of apples Mrs. Wise bought on Tuesday when apples are on 20% sale.

= $16/3

The average price is given by:

Average Price = $1.5

Which of the following proves triangles are congruent

Answers

Answer:

SAA

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because we see the triangles share two equal congruent angles and the one side where they touch each other. We don't know anything about the other sides so it cannot be ASA.

The two right-angled triangles are congruent by RHS so the correct option is neither.

What is congruency?

We know two similar planer figures are congruent when we have sides or angles or both that are the same as the corresponding sides or angles or both.

From the given figure two triangles share a common side which is their height.

The two triangles have the same measure of angles opposite to their base,

Therefore the bases of the triangles are also congruent.

Now, we know if two right-angled triangles have the same height and base

their hypotenuse must also be the same.

Now, the hypotenuse and one of the legs of the triangle is congruent to another right-angled triangle they are congruent by RHS or right-angled hypotenuse.
