Two men and 7 women can together do a piece of work in 4 days. it is done by 4 men and 4 women in 3 days. how long would it take for one man or one woman to do the work

12 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Time taken by one man = x days , and that by 1 boy = y days

work done in 1 day by one man = 1/x

work done in 1 day by one boy= 1/y

work done by 2 men in one day = 2/x

work done by 7 boys in one day = 7/y

2/x + 7/y = 1/4      > [ 1]

work done by 4 men in one day = 4/x

work done by 4 boys in one day = 4/y

4/x + 4/y = 1/3       > [2]

Multiplying  equation 1 by  , 2 ,  

2(2/x + 7/y = 1/4   )

 = 4/x + 14/y = 1/2           ---> [3]

solving equations 2 and 3

 4/x + 4/y = 1/3  

- 4/x + 14/y = 1/2  

-10/y = 2-3/6

-10/y = -1/6

-1/6y = -10

y = -10 × 6/-1

  = 60 

2/x + 7/y = 1/4

2/x + 7/60 = 1/4

7/60 - 1/4 = -2/x

-8/60 = -2/x

-120 = -8x

x = -120/-8

x = 15

Time taken by 1 man to do the  whole job = 15 days

time taken by 1 boy to do the whole  job = 60 days

time taken by one boy and one man to do one day's work = 1/60 + 1/15

                                         = 1/60 + 4/60

                                         = 5/60  = 1/12

Together they can do it in 12 days !

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
