A landscaping company sells bags of mulch for $6.00 each and at that price point they sell 800 bags of mulch. If they raise the price by $0.75 per bag, they have found that
they sell 40 less bags per $0.75 raise in price.
A. Create a profit model to maximize. Explain what each term represents.
B. At what price should they sell their bags of mulch in order to maximize their
profits?
C. What is the maximum profit at that price point?

answer: 5 17/33 % (to the tenth)

step-by-step explanation:

he guessed: 34.5 pounds

actual weight is 32.7

there for he is off:

34.5 -32.7 = 1.8

32.7 is the 100%

1.8 represents %? of 32.7

therefore:

32.7   - 100%

1.8     -     x%

x= 1.8*100%/32.7% = 18*100%/327%

x=1800%/327%   = (5 165/327)%

to the tenth:

5 17/33 %

so the rectangle is 80cm (area)

now to find the area of a triangle.

base times height.

4 times 8.

your answer is 96cm.

hope this .
