in the year 2012 a farmer harvested 144 bags of maize. the following year the harvest decreased in the ratio 3:4.What was the total number of bags harvested for the two years

252 bags of maize

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are told that a farmer harvested maize

In the year 2012 = 144 bags of maize

In the year 2013(following year) the harvest decreased in the ratio 3:4

This means

3:4 = 2013: 2012.

Where number of bags harvested in 2013 = unknown = x

3/4 = x/ 144

Cross multiply 4x = 3 × 144

x = 3 × 144/ 4

× = 108

This means 108 bags of maize was harvested in 2013

The total number of bags harvested is = 108 + 144

= 252 bags of maize.

step-by-step explanation:

answer: 204

step-by-step explanation:

we are told that the revenue is

x⋅(4080−10x)=−10x^2+4080x

this is a quadratic function, so to maximize it we should find the x-value of its vertex. recall that the x-value of the vertex of the parabola ax^2+bx+c is given by the formula −b/2a.

so in this case, we have a=−10 and b=4080, so the x-value of the vertex is

−b/2a= −(4080)/2(−10)=204
