Agreeting card company can produce a box of cards for $7.50. if the initial investment by the company was $50,000, how many boxes of cards must be produced before the average cost per box falls to $10.50?

If cost of one box of card is $7.50 then the no of cards produced is 6667 cards and if cost of one box of card is $10.50 then the no of cards produced is 4762 cards

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost of one box of cards = $7.50

Initial investment = $50,000

No of box of cards produced = Initial investment / cost of one box of card

No of box of cards produced = 50,000/7.50

No of box of cards produced = 6667 cards.

if the cost of one box of cards is increased = $10.50

No of box of cards produced = Initial investment / cost of one box of card

No of box of cards produced = 50,000/10.50

No of box of cards produced = 4762 cards.

So, if cost of one box of card is $7.50 then the no of cards produced is 6667 cards and if cost of one box of card is $10.50 then the no of cards produced is 4762 cards

delaney would like to make a 5lb nut mixture that is 60% peanuts and 40% almonds.

she has several pounds of peanuts and several pounds of a mixture that is 20% peanuts and 80% almonds.

let 'p' represent the number of pounds of peanuts needed to make the new mixture, and  

let 'm' represent the number of pounds of the 80% almond-20% peanut mixture.

:

p + m = 5

therefore

m = (5-p)

write an equation based on the percent of peanuts

1p + .2m = .6(5)

replace m with (5-p)

p + .2(5-p) = .6(5)

p + 1 - .2p = 3

p - .2p = 3 - 1

.8p = 2

p = 2/.8

p = 2.5 lbs of peanuts required

then

5 - 2.5 = 2.5 lbs of the peanut/almond mixture required

:

a) what is the system that models this situation?

p + m = 5

1p + .2m = .6(5)
