## anonymous one year ago You were named District Manager of the Month at BeBop Records due to a hiring study you conducted. Your study showed that each of 30 salespersons that you supervise average $50,000 in sales each month. Your study also showed that for each new salesperson hired, the average monthly sales would decrease$1,000. You presented this study to the company's CEO. What is the maximum average sales the company can expect with all it's salespersons? Hint: Let x represent the number of new salespeople. Total monthly sales = (number of salespersons)(average monthly sales each)

Total monthly sales = (number of salespersons)(average monthly sales each) = (30 + x)(50,000 - x)

I'm very sorry, I don't know your answer since I'm not good with financial mathematics

The product of consecutive odd integers is 575. What is the largest integer? here's the other one I'm stuck on

7. Michele_Laino

here we can write this equation: $\Large \left( {2n - 1} \right)\left( {2n + 1} \right) = 575$ since 2n-1 and 2n+1 are two consecutive odd numbers

8. Michele_Laino

so, after a simplification at left side, we get: $\Large 4{n^2} - 1 = 575$

hint: you have to solve that equation for n

11. anonymous

do would I use 2 ?

12. anonymous

i got 15

13. Michele_Laino

hint: $\Large {n^2} = \frac{{576}}{4}$

14. Michele_Laino

what is n?

15. anonymous

I'm still working out the problem

16. anonymous

144

17. anonymous

wait sorry

18. anonymous

143+3/4

19. Michele_Laino

n^2=144, and n?

20. anonymous

sorry i got it n=12

21. Michele_Laino

that's right! so, what is: 2*n+1=...?

22. anonymous

25

23. Michele_Laino

correct! the 2 numbers are: 23, and 25

24. anonymous

so do I put in 25 ?

25. Michele_Laino

yes! 25

26. anonymous

okay
