Coach De Leon purchases sports equipment. Basketballs cost $20.00 each, and soccer balls cost $18.00 each. He had a budget of $150.00. Part A: Use the drop downs to create an inequality that represent the situation. Let s represent the number of soccer balls and let b represent the number of basketballs. Part B: Given the coach's budget, which of the following is a viable option for the equipment he can purchase? 4 basketballs and 6 soccer balls 5 basketballs and 2 soccer balls 2 basketballs and 7 soccer balls 6 basketballs and 5 soccer balls

A company produces and sells customized basketball shoes. The price-demand function for their shoes is p(x) = 700 - 0.7x. a) How many pairs of shoes should the company produce and sell to maximize revenue? b) What price should the company charge for a pair of shoes to maximize revenue? c) Given that the company's cost function is c(x) = 140x + 2000, how many pairs of shoes should they produce to maximize profit? d) What price should the company charge for a pair of shoes to maximize profit?

A local retailer has determined that the number x of PortaBoy game systems sold in a week is related to the price p in dollars of each system. 105 game systems were sold when the price was $140. When the systems went on sale the following week, 175 systems were sold at $100 each. (a) Find a linear function which fits this data. Use the weekly sales x as the independent variable and the price p as the dependent variable. Answer: p(x) = (b) Find a suitable applied domain: (use interval notation.) (c) If the retailer wants to sell 280 PortaBoys next week, what should the price be? Answer: p = dollars
