A librarian wants to spend no more than $800 on some new desks and chairs for the library. The librarian decides to spend $320 on desks. If each chair costs $24, what is the maximum number of chairs the librarian can buy for the library and stay within the budget?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

20 chairs

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are given the amount total budget and the total amount for the desks then the only variable missing is the maximum amount of chairs. This can be solved with the following equation in which s represents the number of chairs, and we simply solve for s.

800 = 320 + 24s  ... subtract both sides by 300

500 = 24s ... divide both sides by 24

20.83 = s

Now we see that the maximum number of chairs that the librarian can buy is 20 because 21 would make her go over the budget and you cannot have 0.83 of a chair.

Answer 2

Answer:

The librarian can buy a maximum of 20 chairs to stay within the budget.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total budget is:

T = 800

From that budget, he spends 320 on desks (D), so he has the remaining amount to buy chairs (C):

[tex] C = 800 - 320 = 480 [/tex]

Since each chair costs 24, and he has 480 he can buy the following number of chairs:

[tex] n = \frac{C}{24} = \frac{480}{24} = 20 [/tex]

Therefore, the librarian can buy a maximum of 20 chairs to stay within the budget.

I hope it helps you!

Upperloaf Bakery is baking loaves of cornbread and poppy-seed blueberry cake. The recipe for one loaf of corn bread calls for 2 1/4 cups of flour and 1 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda. One loaf of poppy-seed blueberry cake requires 1 3/4 cups of flour and 2 1/8 teaspoons of baking soda. The bakery has 28 cups of flour and 30 teaspoons of baking soda in stock.

Answers

Answer:

2.25c + 1.75p ≤ 28

1.25c + 2.125p ≤ 30

Step-by-step explanation:

Write a system of two inequalities to model loaves of bread and

cake that can be baked.

let

number of cornbread loaves = c

number of poppy-seed blueberry Cake loaves = p

corn bread

cups of flour = 2 1/4 = 2.25

teaspoon of baking soda = 1 1/4 = 1.25

One loaf of poppy-seed blueberry cake

cups of flour = 1 3/4 = 1.75

teaspoons of baking soda = 2 1/8 = 2.125

The bakery has 28 cups of flour and 30 teaspoons of baking soda in stock.

Quantity of flour to use

c(2.25) + p(1.75)

Quantity of baking soda to use

c(1.25) + p(2.125)

The inequality is

c(2.25) + p(1.75) ≤ 28

c(1.25) + p(2.125) ≤ 30

Alternatively,

2.25c + 1.75p ≤ 28

1.25c + 2.125p ≤ 30

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between the Sun and each planet in our solar system varies because the planets travel in elliptical (oval) orbits around the Sun rather than completely circular ones.

Here is a table of the average distance and the variation in the distance for the five innermost planets in our solar system:

Average Distance and Variation
Planet Name Average Distance Variation
Mercury 36.0 million miles 7.39 million miles
Venus 67.2 million miles 0.43 million miles
Earth 93.0 million miles 1.55 million miles
Mars 142 million miles 13.2 million miles
Jupiter 484 million miles 23.2 million miles


"Average distance" means the mean distance that planet is from the sun over the course of its orbit, and "variation" means how far it varies from that mean. For example, if a planet had an average distance of 5 miles and a variation of one mile, it would have distances between 4 and 6 miles at different times.

a) Write and solve an inequality to represent the range of distances that can occur between the Sun and one of the planets from the table (your choice). Show your steps/process.

b) Why is this best represented as an inequality rather than an equation? Explain in at least 3 sentences.

Hope this helps

Step-by-step explanation:

Answers

Answer:

40m

Step-by-step explanation:

If the arch of a bridge forms a parabola with the function

f(x)=−0.05(x−30)² +45 where x is the horizontal distance;

The arc is at its highest point at when df(x)/dx = 0

df(x)/dx  = -2(0.05)(x-30)(1) + 0

df(x)/dx = -0.1(x-30)

df(x)/dx  = -0.1x+3

Since df(x)/dx  = 0

-0.1x+3 = 0

-0.1x = -3

x = -3/-0.1

x = 20

Substitute x = 20 into the function as shown:

f(x)=−0.05(x−30)² +45

f(20)=−0.05(20−30)² +45

f(20)=−0.05(-10)² +45

f(20)=−0.05(100) +45

f(20)=-5+45

f(20) =  40

Hence the arch is 40meters high at its highest point

We invested $10000 into two bank accounts. One account earns 14% per year, the other account earns 8% per year. How much did we invest into each account if after the first year, the combined interest from the two accounts is $1238?

Answers

Answer:

$7,300 was invested in the 14% account while $2,700 was invested in the 8% interest account

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount invested in first account be $x while the amount for second account is $y

Mathematically;

x + y = 10,000 •••••••••(i)

Interest on first account

= 14% of x = 14/100 * x

Interest on second account

= 8% of y= 8/100 * y

Adding all together will give total

14/100 * x + 8/100 * y = 1238

Multiply through by 100

14x + 8y = 123800 •••••••(ii)

From equation 1, x = 10,000 - y

Insert this into second equation

14(10,000-y) + 8y = 123,800

140,000 - 14y + 8y = 123,800

140,000 - 6y = 123,800

6y = 140,000 - 123,800

6y = 16,200

y = 16,200/6

y = $2,700

Recall

x + y = 10,000

x = 10000 - y

x = 10,000 - 2,700

x = $7,300

Suppose you can buy garden fencing in lengths of 50 feet at the local hardware store. A. If you bought 100 feet of fencing and wish to enclose a rectangular garden in your backyard, what should be the dimensions of your garden in order to maximize area?

Answers

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the rectangular area be L and W be the width of the rectangular garden hence:

Perimeter = 2(L + W)

There is 100 feet of fencing available which represents the perimeter, therefore:

100 = 2(L + W)

L + W = 100/2

L + W = 50  

L = 50 - W

The area (A) = L × W

A = L × W

A = (50 - W) × W

A = 50W - W²

To get maximum area, we find the first derivative of the area and equate to zero

A' = 50 - 2W

50 - 2W = 0

2W = 50

W = 50/2

W = 25 feet

100 = 2(L + W)

50 = L + W

L = 50 - W = 50 - 25

L = 25 feet

To maximize area, the length and width should be 25 feet each

A sales person in a stereo store is given a choice of two different compensation plans. One plan offers a weekly salary of $250 plus a commission of $25 for each stereo sold. The other plan offers no salary but pays $50 commission on each stereo sold. How many stereos must the sales person sell to make the same amount of money under both plans ?

Answers

Answer:

The salesperson needs to sell 10 stereos to make the same money on both plans

Step-by-step explanation:

We'll analyze both choices for the compensation plans of a salesperson.

One plan offers a fixed weekly salary of $250 plus a $25 commission for each stereo sold. The function than models this plan is:

P1=250+25x

Where x is the number of stereos sold.

The other plan offers no fixed salary but a $50 commission on each stereo sold. The function of this plan is:

P2=50x

To find the equilibrium point for both plans, we make P1=P2:

250+25x=50x

Simplifying:

25x=250

Solving:

x = 250 / 25 = 10

The salesperson needs to sell 10 stereos to make the same money on both plans

Find the value of x.
