You can write this as a ratio to find the answer, but you first need to convert the gallon of white paint into ounces, which is 160 ounces. The ratio, red to blue to white, is 4:28:160, which you can simplify by dividing by 4 into 1:7:40. If 80 ounces of red tint are used, you need to multiply each value in the ratio by 80, which gives you 80:560:3200. This shows that you need 560 ounces of blue tint, which can also be written as 3.5 gallons. I hope this helps!
It is convenient to let a spreadsheet or graphing calculator do the math for this. Functions can be defined for cost and profit, and evaluated at each of the volumes of interest.
a1) For 200 cars, the Outside location yields the greatest profit
a2) For 300 cars, the City location yields the greatest profit
b) The sites yield the same profit for a volume of 278 cars.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the system of equations:
In order to find the y coordinate of the solution we must first find the solution to this system of equations. We first start by solving one of the given equations and then substitute the answer of that into the second equation and further solve to get the final answers.
Hope this helps.
