An industry produces a certain number of toys in a day. On a particular day, the cost of production of each toy was 9 less than twice the number of toys produced on that day. The total cost of production on that day was Rs 143. Based on the given information, answer the following questions :

An industry produces a certain number of toys in a day On a particular day the cost of production of each toy was 9 less than twice the number of toys produced class=

Respuesta :

Let's call the number of toys produced on that day as "x".

According to the given information, the cost of production of each toy was 9 less than twice the number of toys produced. This can be represented as 2x - 9.

The total cost of production on that day was Rs 143. This can be represented as:

Total cost = (cost per toy) * (number of toys)

143 = (2x - 9) * x

143 = 2x^2 - 9x

2x^2 - 9x - 143 = 0

To solve this quadratic equation, we need to use the quadratic formula:

x = (-b ± √(b^2 - 4ac)) / (2a)

where a = 2, b = -9, c = -143

By plugging these values into the quadratic formula, we get:

x = (9 ± √(81 + 1144)) / 4

x = (9 ± √1225) / 4

x = (9 ± 35) / 4

x = (9 + 35) / 4 or x = (9 - 35) / 4

x = 44 / 4 or x = -26 / 4

x = 11 or x = -6.5

Since the number of toys cannot be negative, the industry produced 11 toys on that day.

We can then find the cost per toy:

2x - 9 = 2*11 - 9 = 22 - 9 = 13

So, the cost of production of each toy was Rs 13.
