Profit (P) is calculated by subtracting the total cost (C) from the total revenue (R). The calculations are shown below,
R = (1440 dozens) x (12 pieces / 1 dozen) x (25 cents/ piece) = $4320
C = (1440 dozens) x ($2.50 / dozen) = $3600
Profit = R - C = $4320 - $3600 = $720
Thus, the businessman's profit is $720.
Each person was to have 1.5 pounds of turkey, but, with the extra people she would have to buy an additional 4.5 pounds of turkey. If she didn’t buy anymore turkey then everyone would get 1.25 pounds of turkey, which is about 1/6 less of what they would have originally gotten. 1/6 is equal to 16.7% or 0.167.
The correct answer would be (4,-5)
Answer:
one solution
Step-by-step explanation:
* Lets start to solve the question
- The 1st equation x - y = -4
- The 2nd equation 3x + y = 8
- We will use the elimination method to solve this system of equation
∵ x - y = -4 ⇒ (1)
∵ 3x + y = 8 ⇒ (2)
- Add the two equation (1) and (2) to eliminate y
∴ x + 3x = -4 + 8
∴ 4x = 4
- Divide both sides by 4
∴ x = 1
- Substitute the value of x in equation (1) or equation (2) to find
the value of y
- We will use equation (1)
∴ 1 - y = -4
Subtract 1 from both sides
∴ -y = -5
- Divide both sides by -1
∴ y = 5
∴ The solution is (1 , 5)
* The system has one solution
Answer:
O It has the same slope and a different y-intercept.
Step-by-step explanation:
y = mx + b
m = 3/8
b = 12
y = (3/8)x + 12
---
Data in the table: slope is the rise (y) over the run (x) between two points (assuming the data represent a linear line).
Change in x and y between two points. I'll choose (-2/3,-3/4) and (1/3,-3/8).
Change in y: (-3/8 - (-3/4)) = (-3/8 - (-6/8)) = 3/8
Change in x: (1/3 - (-2/3)) = (1/3+2/3) = 3/3 = 1
Slope = (Change in y)/(Change in x) = (3/8)/1 = 3/8
The slope of the equation is the same as the data in the table.
Now let's determine if the y-intercept is also the same (12). The equation for the data table is y = (2/3)x + b, and we want to find b. Enter any of the data points for x and y and then solve for b. I'll use (-2/3, -3/4)
y = (3/8)x + b
Use (-2/3, -3/4)
-3/4 =- (3/8)(-2/3) + b
-3/4 = (-6/24) + b
b = -(3/4) + (6/24)
b = -(9/12) + (3/12)
b = -(6/12)
b = -(1/2)
The equation of the line formed by the data table is y = (3/8)x -(1/2)
Therefore, It has the same slope and a different y-intercept.
