Jackson and derek have a lemonade stand. they sell lemonade in 12oz cups. they are hoping to sell at least 50 cups of lemonade. jackson says that they should make 5 gallons, but derek thinks that 17 quarts of lemonade will be enough. whose amount will give them enough lemonade to fill 50 12oz cups ?

To fill 50 12-fl oz cups, you need 50 * 12 fl oz = 600 fl oz

There are 128 fl oz in a gallon

600/128 = 4.6875

600 fl oz = 4.6875 gallons

600 fl oz is under 5 gallons, so 5 gallons is enough.

1 qt = 32 fl oz

17 qt = 17 * 32 fl oz = 544 fl oz

17 quarts is 544 fl oz, which is under the needed 600 fl oz, so 17 quarts is not enough.

5 gallons

you could deduce the conclusion directly using the facts pertaining to the specific situation.

hope this .

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume

number of candles set =x

price of of x candles =p(x)

we are given

a candle maker prices one set of scented candles at $10 and sells an average of 200 sets each week

so, we get point as (200,10)

he finds that when he reduces the price by $1, he then sells 50 more candle sets each week

so, we can find slope

now, we can use point slope form of line

now, we can plug values

we can use point

and find b

now, we can plug it back

and we get

now, we can find revenue

we know that

revenue = price*quantity

so, we get
