The owner of an office supply store initially spends $400 to bring in a new line of pens that he wants to sell. he buys a pack of 10 pens for $3 and sells each pack for $5. he plots one line to represent his costs and another to represent his income. which statement about the situation is true? a ) the store owner will never break even. b ) the store owner’s costs will always be more than his income. c ) the store owner will break even when he sells 200 packs of pens. d ) the store owner will break even when he sells 1,000 packs of pens. e ) the store owner’s income is more than his costs until he sells 200 packs of pens.

Option D is right

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the owner of an office supply store initially spends $400 to bring in a new line of pens that he wants to sell. He buys a pack of 10 pens for $3 and sells each pack for $5.

3 dollars fetch 10 pens

400 dollars fetch 4000/3 =1333.33 pens

10 pens sold for 5 dollars

Hence a pack of 10 pens fetch 5-3 = 2 dollars as profit.

The store owner has chances for break even as he has positive contribution.

Fixed costs = 400

This will be nullified when 2x100 dollas are earned extra

i.e. 100x10=1000 pens are sold

So option D is right

add all the numbers and check the ones place.

the answer is 486. as the ones place is more than 4, the estimation will be the next 10 ie, 490

step-by-step explanation:

given that there are two triangles j'k'l' and jkl>

the former is got by dilating the second one.

when drawn on a grid, (graph paper) coordinates of vertices of first triangle is

(6,12)j, (9,6)k and (12,9)l

side jk has length = distance between j and k

=

side j'k'=distance between j' and k'

=

ie j'k'l' has sides 1/3 of that of corresponding sides of jkl.

hence scale factor of 1/3 is used to get j'k'l'from jkl
