Question

Scura makes sun block and their annual revenues depend on how much they sell. Let x be the quantity of 5 oz. bottles of sun block that they make and sell each year measured in 1000 's of bottles. Thus if x=10 then they make and sell 10000 bottles of sun block each year. If x=25 then they make and sell 25000 bottles of sun block each year.

a. If x=50 how many bottles of sun block does Scura make and sell?

b. What is x equal to if Scura produces and sells 45000 bottles of sunblock?

Answer 1

a) 50,000 bottles

b) x = 45

Explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

The annual revenue of sun block depends on how much they sell.

Let x be the quantity of 5 oz. bottles of sun block that they make and sell each year measured in 1000 's of bottles.

For x = 10,

10,000 bottles were made and sell each year.

For x = 25,

25,000 bottles of sun block were made and sell each year.

a) x = 50

`\text{Number of bottles} = 50* 1000 = 50,000`

Thus, 50,000 bottles of sun block does Scura make and sell.

b) Scura produces and sells 45000 bottles of sunblock

We have to find the value of x

`x = \displaystyle\frac{\text{Number of bottles}}{1000} = (45000)/(1000) = 45`

Thus, x = 45 if Scura produces and sells 45000 bottles of sunblock.
