Llamemos x euros a la cantidad de dinero con la que empezaste. Después de gastar un cuarto, te quedan 3x/4 euros. Luego, recibes el doble del dinero que te quedaba, que es 2*(3x/4) = 3x/2 euros. La cantidad total que tienes ahora es 3x/4 (dinero restante) + 3x/2 (dinero recibido) = 9x/4 euros. Como son 30 euros más de lo que empezaste, podemos escribir la ecuación: 9x/4 = x + 30 Resolviendo para x: Multiplica ambos lados por 4 para deshacerte de la fracción: 9x = 4x + 120 Resta 4x de ambos lados para aislar x: 5x = 120 Divide ambos lados por 5 para encontrar x: x = 24 Por lo tanto, originalmente tenías 24 €.

Farm Grown, Inc., produces cases of perishable food products. Each case contains an assortment of vegetables and other farm products. Each case costs $5 and sells for $15. If there are any not sold by the end of the day, they are sold to a large food processing company for $3 a case. The probability that daily demand will be 100 cases is 0.30, the probability that daily demand will be 200 cases is 0.40, and the probability that daily demand will be 300 cases is 0.30. Farm Grown has a policy of always satisfying customer demands. If its own supply of cases is less than the demand, it buys the necessary vegetables from a competitor. The estimated cost of doing this is $16 per case. (a) Draw a decision table for this problem (b) What do you recommend?
