Bob needs to hire someone to mow his lawn and rake his leaves. His neighbor's son charges $36 to mow plus $5 for each leaf bag he fills. His niece charges $60 to mow plus $2 for each leaf bag she fills,

Write an equation to determine the number of bags for which the two costs would be the same.

8 bags

Step-by-step explanation:

S(x) = 36+5x

N(x) = 60+2x

Then set them equal to find the number of bags that they are the same

36+5x=60+2x

3x=24

x=8

14

step-by-step explanation:

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume

number of candles set =x

price of of x candles =p(x)

we are given

a candle maker prices one set of scented candles at $10 and sells an average of 200 sets each week

so, we get point as (200,10)

he finds that when he reduces the price by $1, he then sells 50 more candle sets each week

so, we can find slope

now, we can use point slope form of line

now, we can plug values

we can use point

and find b

now, we can plug it back

and we get

now, we can find revenue

we know that

revenue = price*quantity

so, we get
