ALGEBRA Jake Duffy drove 12,568 miles
lawyer [12517]
The fee Jack Duffy charges per mile is $0.278, making option B correct.

Detailed explanation:

Given:

Jack Duffy's travel distance = d = 12,568 miles

Fixed costs amount to = $1,485.00

Variable costs amount to = $2,015.75

Let the cost per mile charged by Jack Duffy be = $x

According to the provided information

Total cost = Fixed costs + Variable costs

Thus, Total cost = $1,485.00 + $2,015.75

This equates to Total cost = $3,500.75

Therefore,

The cost Jack Duffy charges per mile = \dfrac{\extrm Total cost}{\textrm Total Distance}

Hence, x = $0.278 per mile

This leads us to conclude that Jack Duffy’s charging rate is $0.278 per mile, confirming option B.

Profit is the difference between revenue and cost. The revenue, in dollars, of a company that manufactures cell phones can be mo
zzz [12365]

Answer:

  • The profit can be expressed as 70x + 50
  • If 240 phones are sold, the profit amounts to $16,850

Detailed explanation:

The revenue function R(x) is provided as R(x)=2x^2+55x+10

The cost function C(x) is given as C(x)=2x^2-15x-40


Profit is calculated by subtracting cost from revenue, expressed as Profit = Revenue − Cost

We substitute the given revenue and cost functions into this formula.

Denote the profit function as P(x).

P(x)=R(x)-C(x)\\P(x)=2x^2+55x+10-(2x^2-15x-40)\\P(x)=2x^2+55x+10-2x^2+15x+40\\P(x)=70x+50

Therefore, the profit function formula simplifies to 70x + 50


Since x denotes the quantity of phones sold, to find the profit when 240 phones are sold, we substitute x = 240 into the profit expression above.

P(x)=70x+50\\P(240)=70(240)+50\\P(240)=16,850

Hence, selling 240 phones yields a profit of $16,850
