A bicycle store costs $2750 per month to operate. The store pays an average of $45 per bike. The aA bicycle store costs $2750 per month to operate. The store pays an average of $45 per bike. The average selling price of each bicycle is $95. How many bicycles must the store sell each month to break even?
Let the number of bikes be b.
Set up our cost function, where it costs $45 per bike to produce
C(b) = 45b
Set up our revenue function, where we earn $95 per sale for each bike:
R(b) = 95b
Set up our profit function, which is how much we keep after a sale:
P(b) = R(b) - C(b)
P(b) = 95b - 45b
P(b) = 50b
The problem wants to know how many bikes we need to sell to break-even. Note: break-even means profit equals operating cost, which in this case, is $2,750. So we set our profit function of 50b equal to $2,750
50b = 2750

If a boat decreases in value 7% in value, then our new value each year is 100% - 7% = 93%. So we have a B(y) function where B(y) is the value of the boat after y years:
B(y) = 14,950 * (1 - 0.07)^y
Simplifying, we get:
B(y) = 14,950 * (0.93)^y
The problem asks for B(8)
B(8) = 14,950 * (0.93)^7
B(8) = 14,950 * 0..6017

A spherical water tank holds 11,500ft^3 of water. What is the diameter?A spherical water tank holds 11,500ft^3 of water. What is the diameter?
The tank holding amount is volume. And the volume of a sphere is:
V = (4pir^3)/3
We know that radius is 1/2 of diameter:
r =d/2
So we rewrite our volume function:
V = 4/3(pi(d/2)^3)
We're given V = 11,500 so we have:
4/3(pi(d/2)^3) = 11500
Multiply each side by 3/4
4/3(3/4)(pi(d/2)^3) = 11,500*3/4
Simplify:
pi(d/2)^3 = 8625
Since pi = 3.1415926359, we divide each side by pi:
(d/2)^3 = 8625/3.1415926359
(d/2)^3 = 2745.42

We set up our exponential function where n is the number of days after today:
Z(n) = 25 * 2^n
We want to know n where Z(n) = 25,000.
25 * 2^n = 25,000
Divide each side of the equation by 25, to isolate 2^n:

Take the natural log of each side to isolate n:
Ln(2^n) = Ln(1000)
There exists a logarithmic identity which states: Ln(a^n) = n * Ln(a). In this case, a = 2, so we have:

Melissa runs a landscaping business. She has equipment and fuel expenses of $264 per month. If she cMelissa runs a landscaping business. She has equipment and fuel expenses of $264 per month. If she charges $53 for each lawn, how many lawns must she service to make a profit of at $800 a month?
Melissa has a fixed cost of $264 per month in fuel. No variable cost is given. Our cost function is:
C(x) = Fixed Cost + Variable Cost. With variable cost of 0, we have:
C(x) = 264
The revenue per lawn is 53. So R(x) = 53x where x is the number of lawns.
Now, profit is Revenue - Cost. Our profit function is:
P(x) = 53x - 264
To make a profit of $800 per month, we set P(x) = 800.
53x - 264 = 800

The critical point is where the derivative equals 0.
We multiply through for f(x) to get:
f(x) = xe^x - 3e^x
Using the product rule on the first term f'g + fg', we get:
f'(x) = xe^x + e^x - 3e^x
f'(x) = xe^x -2e^x
f'(x) = e^x(x - 2)
We want f'(x) = 0

You open a hat stand in the mall with an initial start-up cost of $1500 plus 50 cents for every hatYou open a hat stand in the mall with an initial start-up cost of $1500 plus 50 cents for every hat you stock your booth with. a) What is your cost function?
Set up the cost function C(h) where h is the number of hats you stock:
C(h) = Cost per hat * h hats + Start Up Cost
[B]C(h) = 0.5h + 1500[/B]
You open up a savings account. Your initial deposit is $300. You plan to add in $50 per month to savYou open up a savings account. Your initial deposit is $300. You plan to add in $50 per month to save up for college. Write an equation to represent the situation.
Let m be the number of months. We have a Savings account function S(m):
S(m) = Monthly deposit * number of months + Initial Deposit
[B]S(m) = 50m + 300[/B]

You purchase a new car for $35,000. The value of the car depreciates at a rate of 8.5% per year. IfYou purchase a new car for $35,000. The value of the car depreciates at a rate of 8.5% per year. If the rate of decrease continues, what is the value of your car in 5 years?
Set up the depreciation function D(t), where t is the time in years from purchase. We have:
D(t) = 35,000(1 - 0.085)^t
Simplified, a decrease of 8.5% means it retains 91.5% of it's value each year, so we have:
D(t) = 35,000(0.915)^t
The problem asks for D(5)
D(5) = 35,000(0.915)^5
D(5) = 35,000(0.64136531607)
D(5) = $[B]22,447.79[/B]

You work for a remote manufacturing plant and have been asked to provide some data about the cost ofYou work for a remote manufacturing plant and have been asked to provide some data about the cost of specific amounts of remote each remote, r, costs $3 to make, in addition to $2000 for labor. Write an expression to represent the total cost of manufacturing a remote. Then, use the expression to answer the following question. What is the cost of producing 2000 remote controls?
We've got 2 questions here.
Question 1: We want the cost function C(r) where r is the number of remotes:
C(r) = Variable Cost per unit * r units + Fixed Cost (labor)
[B]C(r) = 3r + 2000
[/B]
Question 2: What is the cost of producing 2000 remote controls.
In this case, r = 2000, so we want C(2000)
C(2000) = 3(2000) + 2000
C(2000) = 6000 + 2000
C(2000) = [B]$8000[/B]
Your clothes washer stopped working during the spin cycle and you need to get a person in to fix theYour clothes washer stopped working during the spin cycle and you need to get a person in to fix the washer. Company A costs $20 for the visit and $15 for every hour the person is there to fix the problem. Company B costs $40 for the visit and $5 for every hour the person is there to fix the problem. When would Company B be cheaper than Company A?
Set up the cost functions:
[LIST]
[*]Company A: C(h) = 15h + 20
[*]Company B: C(h) = 5h + 40
[/LIST]
Set them equal to each other:
15h + 20 = 5h + 40
Using our [URL='http://www.mathcelebrity.com/1unk.php?num=15h%2B20%3D5h%2B40&pl=Solve']equation solver[/URL], we get h = 2.
With [B]h = 3[/B] and beyond, Company B becomes cheaper than Company A.
