a.
To find: whether it is possible that vendor made $914 on Thursday. Also give explanation for your answer.
a.
Answer to Problem 33E
No, it is not possible.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The given information made by the vendor on selling the item is as follows:
Day | Number of regular espressos sold | Number of large espressos sold | Total amount made ($) |
Monday | 216 | 162 | 783 |
Thursday | 248 | 186 | 914 |
Calculation:
Let the number of large espressos and regular espresso be
The equation for vendor’s sale on Monday night will be as follows:
Put the values of the slope and y- intercept in the equation as follows:
The equation for vendor’s sale on Thursday night will be as follows:
Put the values of the slope and y- intercept in the equation as follows:
The slopes of both the equation is same but the value of b is approximately same. So, these are not coinciding functions. It is not possible that the vendor made that amount on Thursday because
b.
To find: whether it is possible that vendor made $1247 on Saturday. Also give explanation for your answer.
b.
Answer to Problem 33E
Yes, it is possible.

The equation for vendor’s sale on Monday night will be as follows:
Put the values of the slope and y- intercept in the equation as follows:
The equation for vendor’s sale on Saturday night will be as follows:
Put the values of the slope and y- intercept in the equation as follows:
The slopes of both the equation is same and the value of b is also same. So, these are coinciding functions. Thus, it is possible that the vendor made that amount on Saturday.
