1. Write down the inequality for the total cost:

325 + 15x \leq 400

2. Subtract the cost of the lawnmower from both sides to isolate the drawer pulls' cost:

15x \leq 400 - 325

15x \leq 75

3. Divide both sides by 15 to solve for x :

x \leq \frac{75}{15}

x \leq 5

The maximum cost of each drawer pull is

x \leq 5

User One of the applications of the derivative of a function is its use in Physics, where a function that at every instant t associates the number s(t), this function s is called the clockwise function of the movement. By deriving the time function we obtain the velocity function at time t, denoted by v(t). A body has a time function that determines its position in meters at time t as S(t)=t.³√t+2.t . Present the speed of this body at time t = 8 s.
