AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around forming an equation to analyze how a single variable affects both revenue and costs for an unnamed company's event. The revenue is calculated based on the number of meetings chosen by companies, with specific costs associated with each meeting package. Costs include a constant base salary for six employees and a 10% cut from meeting package sales. The user seeks to understand the correlation between changes in the number of companies and the resulting impact on revenue and costs. The conversation highlights the complexity of the problem and suggests seeking additional help for clarity.

Hi there!

I have a problem that I cannot solve and I really need your help. This problem is connected to a single event held by an unnamed company and I am asking you to help me form an equation. Basically, the simple equation would be revenue-costs=profit/loss. I need to form an equation that indicates how a single variable affects both revenue and costs and preferably find their correlation OR how the change in the variable affects both revenue and costs. I am simply not smart enough to form one. :confused:

The revenue part consists of total amount money spent/event, which equals the number of meetings in the event for company n multiplied with cost of each of the meetings for company n. There are 5 meeting options that a company can choose from:

1. 5 meetings = 1250 currencies
2. 10 meetings= 2400 currencies
3. 15 meetings= 3450 currencies
4. 20 meetings= 4400 currencies
5. 25 meetings= 5000 currencies

The total number of companies, n, for the event is 39.

The costs part consists of base salary cost for six employees which is constant (same for each of the six employees) in addition to a 10% provisional cut for each of the above-mentioned meeting-packages sold to customers.

I need something that indicates the change in both revenue and costs when n is changed and in which relation they change.

I tried to be as clear as I can, but as you can probably see, I am not the sharpest tool in the shed. I tried forming the equation myself, but after two hours and some progress, I decided to try and find someone smarter than me.

If you need more explanation or I was not clear enough, I am perfectly fine with trying to explain further. Thank you so much in advance! :)

Well, read your post 3 times, got nothing but a splitting headache...

Perhaps you could ask someone, like a local high school math teacher,
to help you present your problem clearly...

Seemingly by some mathematical coincidence, a hexagon of sides 2,2,7,7, 11, and 11 can be inscribed in a circle of radius 7. The other day I saw a math problem on line, which they said came from a Polish Olympiad, where you compute the length x of the 3rd side which is the same as the radius, so that the sides of length 2,x, and 11 are inscribed on the arc of a semi-circle. The law of cosines applied twice gives the answer for x of exactly 7, but the arithmetic is so complex that the...
Is it possible to arrange six pencils such that each one touches the other five? If so, how? This is an adaption of a Martin Gardner puzzle only I changed it from cigarettes to pencils and left out the clues because PF folks don’t need clues. From the book “My Best Mathematical and Logic Puzzles”. Dover, 1994.
Thread 'Imaginary Pythagoras'
I posted this in the Lame Math thread, but it's got me thinking. Is there any validity to this? Or is it really just a mathematical trick? Naively, I see that i2 + plus 12 does equal zero2. But does this have a meaning? I know one can treat the imaginary number line as just another axis like the reals, but does that mean this does represent a triangle in the complex plane with a hypotenuse of length zero? Ibix offered a rendering of the diagram using what I assume is matrix* notation...
