Age_Word_Problems/363824: A baseball player is offered an annual salary of $200,000 or a base salary of $100,000 plus a bonus of $1,000 for each hit over 100 hits. How many hits must the baseball player make to earn more than $200,000? Explain your answer/equation. 1 solutions
Answer 259491 by checkley77(12569) on 2010-10-30 09:59:54 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!100,000+1,000(x-100)>200,000
100,000+1,000x-100,000>200,000
1,000x>200,000
x>200,000/1,000
x>200 thus he must get 200 hits to make $200,000 salary + bonus.
Proof:
Let the hits = 201
100,000+1,000(201-100)>200,000
100,000+201,000-100,000>200,000
201,000>200,000

You can put this solution on YOUR website!A+C=315 OR A=315-C
4A+1.5C=810
4(315-C)+1.5C=810
1,260-4C+1.5C=810
-2.5C=810-1,260
-2.5C=-450
C=-450/-2.5
C=180 CHILDREN TICKETS WERE SOLD.
315-180=135 ADULT TICKETS WERE SOLD.
PROOF:
4*135+1.5*180=810
540+270=810
810=810

You can put this solution on YOUR website!4x-2y=8
2x-y=7 MULTIPLY BY -2 & ADD.
-4X+2Y=-14
4X+2Y=8
---------------
0X+0Y=-6 NO UNIQUE SOLUTION FOR X OR Y BECAUSE THESE ARE 2 PARALLEL LINES.
-2Y=-4X+8
Y=-4X/-2+8/-2
Y=2X-4 (RED LINE)
-Y=-2X+7
Y=2X-7 (GREEN LINE)

Money_Word_Problems/363577: 4. Your profit P is determined by subtracting the cost C, the amount of money it costs to operate a business, from the revenue R, the amount of money you earn from selling your product. Profit can be represented algebraically by the equations:
Profit = Revenue - Cost
OR
P = R - C
a. Rewrite the formula to solve for C.
b. Imagine your profit for 1 day is $1,281, and the cost of running the business for the day is $1,463. What is the revenue for that day? Explain your answer.

Answer 259335 by checkley77(12569) on 2010-10-29 17:08:57 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!P = R - C
C=R-P ANS. FOR C.
-----------------------
1,463=R-1,281
R=1,463+1,281
R=$2,744 IS THE TOTAL REVENUE FOR THE DAY.
BECAUSE [R=C+P]

Reduction-of-unit-multipliers/363592: the length of a football field is 7 yards longer than double the width.if the perimeter of the rectangular playing field is 326 yards what are the demensions? 1 solutions
Answer 259331 by checkley77(12569) on 2010-10-29 16:52:03 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!L=2W+7
2L+2W=326
2(2W+7)+2W=326
4W+14+2W=326
6W=326-14
6W=312
W=312/6
W=52 ANS. FOR THE WIDTH.
L=2*52+7=104+7=111 ANS. FOR THE LENGTH.
PROOF:
2*111+2*52=326
222+104=326
326=326
