+118673 Hi 315 :)
Let K be the average number of Kilometres per year
Let C be the yearly compensation
The first one,
C1 = 0.223K+2000
when k=18000 C1= 0.223*18000+200 = 4214
The second one,
C2 = 0.32K
When K=18000 C2=0.32*18000 = 5760
So at 18,000 km per year the second one gives the better compensation
The reimbursements will be the same when C1=C2
0.223K+2000=0.32K
2000= (0.32-0.223)K
2000/(0.32-0.223) = 20618.5567010309278350515463917525773195876288659793814432989691
the reimburements will be the same if the annual distance travelled is 20619 km
Here is the graph :)
+1832 Thank you Melody
I got it.
But there is a mistake in the first part Willie will receive 2000 not 200
thats why the total allowance of the first one is 6194 So the first one gives the better compensation.
but I totaly got the idea.
+1832 For this question, I didn't get only this part
This area will require an average increase in a round-trip haul of 5 miles for 60% of the city.
What did he mean !
+118673 Area is a confusing word.
It means the region of the tipping site.
Is the wording still confusing??
+118673 Hi again 315. :)
Say the average round distance for Haul A is X miles
Then the average round distance for Haul B will be
60%*(x+5) + 20%*(X-2) +20%*X
=0.6X + 0.6*5 -0.2X - 0.2*2 +0.2X
= X + 0.6*5 - 0.2*2
This question is only concerned with the difference in the average distance so which is
=0.6*5 - 0.2*2
= 3 - 0.4
= 2.6 miles The average truck will travel 2.6miles further per load for plan B
Now I think that there are too many things that are poorly worded or not explained in this question BUT
this is my take.
What is the extra cost for part A.
I have to assume that the $2.35 / m^3 includes transport and material costs.
2.35*2*10^6 = 4.7*10^5 = 4.7 million dollars
Extra costs for area A is 4.7 million dollars
Now what are the extra costs for part B
Q how many truck loads will it take to fill the 14*10^6 m^3 tip
A 14*10^6 divided by 20 = 7*10^5 loads
Q and how many extra distance will this be for B?
A 2.6*7*10^5 = 1.82*10^6 miles
Q At 15mph how much extra time will this take?
A 1.82*10^6 divided by 15 = 121333 and 1/3 hours
Q At $35 pr hour how much extra cost will this be?
A 121333 and 1/3 hours *35 = $ 4246666.67
Extra Cost for area B is 4.245 million dollars
Extra costs for area A is 4.7 million dollars
So, based on the information given, area B is cheaper.
+129852 The first part concerning the auto dealer is irrelevant since he receives the same deal no matter which of his employer's plans he opts for.
a) At 18000 km per year, he receives 18000(.223) + 2000 = 6014 under the first option
Under the second option, he receives 18000(.32) = 5760 ......so the first option is better
b) Let x be the distance at which the reimbursements are the same....and we have....
.223(x) + 2000 = (.32)x rearrange as
2000 = 0.097x divide both sides by 0.097
x = about 20619 km
