The price that a company charged for a basketball hoop is given by the equation 50 - 5x^2 where x is the number of hoops that are produced, in millions. it costs the company $30 to make each basketball hoop. the company recently reduced its production to 1 million hoops but maintained its profit of 15 million dollars. approximately how many basketball hoops did the company previously produce to make the same profit? 1.3 million hoops 1.4 million hoops 15 million hoops 30 million hoops

The correct option is first, the number of basketball hoops did the company previously produce to make the same profit is 1.3 million hoops.

Explanation:

Let the number of basketball hoops did the company previously produce to make the same profit be x.

Total Revenue = Price * Quantity

The total revenue in million dollars is,

The total cost in million dollars is,

Total Cost = One unit cost * Quantity

Profit = Total Revenue - Total Cost

The profit is 15 million.

The value of x is 1 and .

The production is always positive therefore the value of x either 1 or 1.3. Since 1 million is not available in the options therefore the the correct optin is 1.3 million hoops.

step-by-step explanation:

in standard form:

a= dictionaries

b= maps

you have to buy 3 dictionaries, so put a 3 next to the a (dictionaries) so that you can multiply them by each other.

a3+b= 60 (the amount of money you have)

we already know the cost of a=15 so replace a with $15

($15 x 3)+b=60

multiply 15 and 3 to get $45 and replace it with $45

45+b=60

and then replace b with 15 to get the total:

45+15=60

that means you have $15 left after buying 3 dictionaries.

15 divided by the cost of a map ($5) equals 3.

so you can buy 3 maps.

sorry if it was confusing!

call the larger triangle abc

then the smaller triangle cde is similar to abc (all angles are equal, aaa).  

ab is the side that is 36, and we wish to find de, the side corresponding to ab

area_cde = area_abc - area_cde --> area_abc / area_cde = 2

let x=length of de

ratio of areas = (ratio of sides)^2
