Represent the number of days by x. With this representation, the variable cost of the rental is 31.67x. The total cost is the sum of the fixed and variable costs. This value should not be more than $500. The equation below shows the relationship.
130 + 31.67x ≤ 500
Solving for x gives x ≤ 11.68
Thus, the maximum number of days to rent the car is only 11 days.
65% of the total expenses is for marketing, in which 500,000 is the total.
First, change the percentage into decimal
65% = 65/100 = 0.65
Next, to find the amount budgeted for marketing, multiply the total with the decimal
0.65 x 500000 = 325000
$325000 is used for marketing
hope this helps
Wouldn’t the answer be 19.
Let n represent the amount Colin earned on Sunday.
On Sat. he earned n/2; on Sun. he earned n; and on Friday he earned (1/2)(n/2).
Then n/2 + n + n/4 = $70
Mult. all terms by 4 to eliminate fractions:
2n + 4n + n = $280
7n = $280 => n = $40
Colin earned n/2, or $20, on Saturday; n, or $40, on Sunday; and n/4, or $10, on Friday.
Note that $20 and $40 and $10 add up to $70, as they must.
