Suppose that a commercial bakery produces chocolate chip cookies. Based on extensive testing, the bakery has determined that the ideal number of chocolate chips per cookie is 18. In the past, master bakers mixed the dough and spooned it onto sheet pans by hand, but the owners have decided to test a new machine. The machine extrudes dough onto baking sheets at a uniform rate. It runs continuously from 6:00 a. m. until 2:00 p. m. The number of chips per cookie depends on the viscosity of the dough, and because the dough stiffens as it sits in the machine, the machine produces cookies that contain the optimal number of chips, 18 per cookie, between the hours of 6:30 a. m. and 11 a. m. The distribution of cookies is shown in the graph below.

< i think this is the answer unless i did my math wrong

They have to let you pass middle school

First, think of what you know. you know that the number t the end of the equation will need to be subtracted because it is the money he lost from buying the lawn mower. and your first two weeks have negative profit, so that tells you that c and d are wrong. now you can plug any of the weeks into a and b to see which one works. i'll start with plugging week 1 into a.this isn't right because it says your answer for week one should be -90.so now we need to try the same thing with b.this one got you the right answer, (sometimes if you only check with one of the weeks multiple will work so you need to check with more of the weeks, but it worked out fine here)this means that b is the correct answer.let me know if you need more clarification. i hope this : )
