Your business sells cupcakes in boxes of 10. the demand equation is
x = −5p + 100
in the above formula x is the number of boxes you sell in one month for a unit price (per box) of p dollars. the cost of producing x boxes is
c = $50 + 6xset up the profit function p in terms of an arbitrary number of boxes x alone.

Step-by-step explanation:

Revenue, Cost and Profit

In basic economics, the study of these 3 variables provides some insights about the businesses' health. Given the demand equation and the total cost function, it's possible to build up some interesting outcomes and even to find the optimal levels of production to maximize profits

The demand equation is given as

where x is the number of boxes sold in one month for a unit price (per box) of p dollars.

We also know that the cost of producing x boxes is

The revenue function can be easily computed if we know the price as a function of x. The price by the number of boxes sold will give us the revenue function. We need to isolate p in the demand equation

Now the revenue function is

The profit function P is always computed as the difference between the cost and the revenue

x ≥ 18 is your answer

step-by-step explanation:

let "a number" = x

(2/3)x + 17 ≥ 29

isolate the variable (x). do the opposite of pemdas (parenthesis, exponent (& root), multiplication, division, addition, subtraction).

first, subtract 17 from both sides.

(2/3)x + 17 (-17) ≥ 29 (-17)

(2/3)x ≥ 29 - 17

(2/3)x ≥ 12

next, multiply 3/2 to both sides to isolate the x

(3/2)(2/3)x ≥ 12(3/2)

x ≥ 12(3/2)

simplify. multiply, then divide

x ≥ (12 * 3)/2

x ≥ (36)/2

x ≥ 18

x ≥ 18 is your answer
