Question

Nate starts a lawn – mowing business. In his business he has expenses and revenue. Nate’s expenses are the cost of the lawn mower and gas and his revenue is $25 per lawn. At What point will Nate’s revenue exceed his expenses?

hintHint:

Given the cost and expenses on per lawn basis let n be the no.of laws to be mowed so that revenue exceeds his expenses .Then,find the total revenue and total expense on the lawns and find n.

The correct answer is: The no.of laws to be mowed so that revenue exceed his expenses is 9.


    Ans :- The no.of laws to be mowed so that revenue exceed his expenses is 9.
    Explanation :-
    let n be the no.of laws to be mowed so that revenue exceed his expenses
    Step 1:- find the total revenue and expense of n lawns
    Revenue per lawn = $25
    Total revenue per n lawns = 25n
    The expense are cost of the lawn mower $200(one time expense) and gas $2 per lawn.
    So the total expense per n lawns =  cost of lawn mower + cost of gasoline per lawn × no.of lawns.
    Total expense = $200 + 2n
    Step 2 :- Applying condition to find n.
    revenue exceed his expenses
    25n > 200 + 2 n
    23 n > 200
    n > 8.7
    ∴ n = 9
    ∴The no.of laws to be mowed so that revenue exceed his expenses is 9.
