The members of a cooking club are making cakes, which they will sell at a street fair for $8 apiece. It cost $30 for a booth at the fair, and the ingredients for each cake cost $2. At some point, the club members will sell enough cakes so that their sales cover their expenditures. How many cakes will they have sold?

Answers

Answer 1

They need to sell 5 pieces to cover their expenditures (have a profit of zero).

How many cakes will they have sold?

We know that the costs are:

$30 for the booth at the fair.$2 for each piece of cake they sell.

And the revenue is:

$8 for each piece of cake.

So, the profit (the difference between the revenue and the cost) for selling x pieces is:

p(x) = $8*x - $2*x - $30

p(x) = $6*x - $30

We want to find the value of x such that p(x) = 0, then:

0 =  $6*x - $30

x = $30/$6 = 5

They need to sell 5 pieces to cover their expenditures (have a profit of zero).

When Sarah was 6 months old, she was 21 in. tall and her head had a diameter of 4.5 in. Now, at 20
years old, she is 6 ft. 1 in. tall and her head has a diameter of 7.65 in. If Sarah is typical, should a
person at 20 years of age be considered "similar" to herself at 6 months of age? For all parts of the
problem write an equation and solve, showing ALL the work.
a. Find the ratio of height-to-head diameter for Sarah at 6 months old. If the ratio were the
same when she was 20 years old, what diameter would her head have?
b. Find the ratio of height-to-head diameter for Sarah at 20 years old. If the ratio were the
same when she was 6 months old, how tall weld she be at 6 months?
Draw or add images here

C
How close are the two ratios you found in Part (a) and Part (b)?
d. If Sarah were taller or shorter either at 6 months of age or 20 years of age, would this make
her more or less "similar" at those two ages? Explain.

Answers

Answer:

a. ratio of height to head at 6 months old is 21/4.5 =(4.66) (the height is 4.66 times the head)

- if the ratio is the same when she is 20 she would have a head with (6ft 1in =73inches) 73/ 4.66 = 15.67 inches in diameter

b. ratio height to head at 20 yrs old = 73/7.65 = 9.54 (the height is 9.54 times the head)

-she would be about 15.6 * 4.66 = 72.70 inches tall at 20 yrs old if we the ratio at 6 months old

c. in part a ratio is 4.66, in b it is 9.54. it's a big difference

d.if she was taller at 6 months old. her head size will be smaller when she is 20 yrs compare to what we calculate.

the she was shorter at 6 months old. the ratio will be smaller and the head may have been as big as her body

The solution to the given linear function at f(1) when calculated gives an output value of; 8

How to Solve Linear functions?

We are given the linear function represented by the equation;

f(x) = 7(x - 1) + 8

Now, to find f(1) simply means we substitute 1 for x in the given expression to obtain;

f(1) = 7(1 - 1) + 8

f(1) = 8

Thus, the solution is; f(1) = 8

(b) [tex]2^3\cdot 3^2\cdot 7\cdot 11\text{ and }2^2\cdot 3^3\cdot 5\cdot 7[/tex]

To find:

The GCF.

Solution:

(a)

We have,

[tex]12a^2b^2c, 15a^3b^3c[/tex]

The factor forms are

[tex]12a^2b^2c=2\cdot 2\cdot 3\cdot a\cdot a\cdot b\cdot b\cdot c[/tex]

[tex]15a^3b^3c=3\cdot 5\cdot a\cdot a\cdot a\cdot b\cdot b\cdot b\cdot c[/tex]

Now,

[tex]GCF=3\cdot a\cdot a\cdot b\cdot b\cdot c[/tex]

[tex]GCF=3a^2b^2c[/tex]

Therefore, the GCF is [tex]3a^2b^2c[/tex].

(b)

We have,

[tex]2^3\cdot 3^2\cdot 7\cdot 11\text{ and }2^2\cdot 3^3\cdot 5\cdot 7[/tex]

GCF is the product of common prime factors with least power.

In its annual report this year PDPS reported a net income of $110,000. Last year, the company reported a retained earnings balance of $425,000, whereas this year it increased to $500,000. How much was paid out in dividends this year?

Answers

Answer:

$35,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the dividend amount is given below:

As we know that

Dividend Paid = Net income - Retained earnings for current year

where,

Retained earnings for current year = This year - last year

= $500,000 - $425,000

= $75,000

Now

Dividend Paid is  

= $110,000 - $75,000

= $35,000
