Answer:

[tex]y = 1400 + 5.2x[/tex] --- Running cost

[tex]y = 25 x[/tex] --- Monthly income

71 cars

R1775

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Expenses

[tex]Salaries = 1400.00[/tex]

[tex]Others = 5.20[/tex] per car

Income

[tex]Rate = 25.00[/tex] per car

Solving (a): Expression for the running cost

This is calculated as:

[tex]y = Salary + Others * x[/tex]

Where

y = Total running cost

x = number of cars

So:

[tex]y = 1400 + 5.20 * x[/tex]

[tex]y = 1400 + 5.2x[/tex]

Solving (b): Expression for monthly income

This is calculated as:

[tex]y = Rate * x[/tex]

Where

y = Total income

x = number of cars

So:

[tex]y = 25.00 * x[/tex]

[tex]y = 25 x[/tex]

Solving (c): Break even

To do this, we equate the expressions in (a) and (b)

[tex]y = y[/tex]

[tex]25x = 1400 + 5.2x[/tex]

Collect Like Terms

[tex]25x -5.2x= 1400[/tex]

[tex]19.8x= 1400[/tex]

Solve for x

[tex]x = \frac{1400}{19.8}[/tex]

[tex]x = 71[/tex]

Solving (d): How much to break even

Substitute 71 for x in any of (a) or (b)

[tex]y = 25 x[/tex]

[tex]y = 25 * 71[/tex]

[tex]y = 1775[/tex]

Solving (e): There is no question to answer on the "graph"
