1. **Problem Statement:**
Find the market equilibrium price and quantity given demand and supply equations, then find total revenue.
2. **Given:**
Demand: $p = 3q - 22$
Supply: $q^2 + 2p + 4q = 100$
3. **Step 1: Find equilibrium where demand equals supply price:**
Set demand price equal to supply price.
4. From demand: $p = 3q - 22$
From supply: rearranged to express $p$:
$$q^2 + 2p + 4q = 100 \implies 2p = 100 - q^2 - 4q \implies p = \frac{100 - q^2 - 4q}{2}$$
5. Set equal:
$$3q - 22 = \frac{100 - q^2 - 4q}{2}$$
Multiply both sides by 2:
$$2(3q - 22) = 100 - q^2 - 4q$$
$$6q - 44 = 100 - q^2 - 4q$$
6. Rearrange:
$$6q - 44 - 100 + q^2 + 4q = 0$$
$$q^2 + 10q - 144 = 0$$
7. Solve quadratic:
$$q = \frac{-10 \pm \sqrt{10^2 - 4 \times 1 \times (-144)}}{2} = \frac{-10 \pm \sqrt{100 + 576}}{2} = \frac{-10 \pm \sqrt{676}}{2} = \frac{-10 \pm 26}{2}$$
8. Possible $q$ values:
$$q = \frac{-10 + 26}{2} = 8$$
$$q = \frac{-10 - 26}{2} = -18$$ (discard negative quantity)
9. Equilibrium quantity $q = 8$
10. Find equilibrium price $p$:
$$p = 3(8) - 22 = 24 - 22 = 2$$
11. Total revenue $TR = p \times q = 2 \times 8 = 16$

12. **Problem:** Given marginal revenue $MR = 25 - 3Q^2$, find total revenue $TR$.
13. Recall $MR = \frac{dTR}{dQ}$, so integrate:
$$TR = \int MR \, dQ = \int (25 - 3Q^2) dQ = 25Q - Q^3 + C$$
14. Usually $TR = 0$ when $Q=0$, so $C=0$.
15. Final total revenue function:
$$TR = 25Q - Q^3$$

16. **Problem:** Find total amount paid to firms A, B, C using matrix method.
17. Stones loads: A=40, B=35, C=25; Sand loads: A=10, B=5, C=8
Cost per load: Stones=1200, Sand=500
18. Define matrices:
$$Q = \begin{bmatrix}40 & 10 \\ 35 & 5 \\ 25 & 8\end{bmatrix}, \quad C = \begin{bmatrix}1200 \\ 500\end{bmatrix}$$
19. Total cost per firm:
$$T = Q \times C = \begin{bmatrix}40 & 10 \\ 35 & 5 \\ 25 & 8\end{bmatrix} \times \begin{bmatrix}1200 \\ 500\end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix}40 \times 1200 + 10 \times 500 \\ 35 \times 1200 + 5 \times 500 \\ 25 \times 1200 + 8 \times 500\end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix}53000 \\ 44500 \\ 34000\end{bmatrix}$$

20. **Problem:** Find number of students in courses A, B, C given total 18000 and enrollment relations.
21. Let highest enrollment = $x$
Then:
- Lowest = $x - 7000$
- Second highest = $x - 4000$
22. Sum:
$$x + (x - 4000) + (x - 7000) = 18000$$
$$3x - 11000 = 18000$$
$$3x = 29000$$
$$x = \frac{29000}{3} \approx 9666.67$$
23. Students:
- Highest: 9666.67
- Second highest: 9666.67 - 4000 = 5666.67
- Lowest: 9666.67 - 7000 = 2666.67
24. **Number of ways to arrange 4 boxes from 9:**
Permutation $P(9,4) = \frac{9!}{(9-4)!} = \frac{9!}{5!} = 9 \times 8 \times 7 \times 6 = 3024$

25. **Problem:** Radio listeners data
26. Given:
- Total citizens = 600
- Listened 7 o'clock news = 310
- Listened late night news = 370
- Listened both = 120
27. Number who listened late night but not 7 o'clock:
$$370 - 120 = 250$$
28. Number who listened at least one:
$$310 + 370 - 120 = 560$$
29. Number who did not listen either:
$$600 - 560 = 40$$

30. **Problem:** Calculate future value of quarterly deposits
31. Given:
- Deposit $R = 450$
- Interest rate per annum $i = 12\%$ compounded quarterly $\Rightarrow i_q = \frac{12\%}{4} = 3\% = 0.03$
- Number of years $t = 10$
- Number of quarters $n = 4 \times 10 = 40$
32. Future value of annuity formula:
$$FV = R \times \frac{(1 + i_q)^n - 1}{i_q}$$
33. Calculate:
$$FV = 450 \times \frac{(1 + 0.03)^{40} - 1}{0.03}$$
34. Compute $(1.03)^{40} \approx 3.262$ (approximate)
35. So:
$$FV = 450 \times \frac{3.262 - 1}{0.03} = 450 \times \frac{2.262}{0.03} = 450 \times 75.4 = 33930$$

36. **Problem:** Calculate amount received by child with annual deposits
37. Given:
- Annual deposit $R = 2500$
- Interest rate $i = 4.5\% = 0.045$
- Number of years $n = 18 - 3 = 15$
38. Future value of annuity:
$$FV = R \times \frac{(1 + i)^n - 1}{i}$$
39. Calculate:
$$(1.045)^{15} \approx 1.938$$
40. So:
$$FV = 2500 \times \frac{1.938 - 1}{0.045} = 2500 \times \frac{0.938}{0.045} = 2500 \times 20.84 = 52100$$

41. **Problem:** Calculate equal installments for loan repayment
42. Given:
- Loan amount $P = 20000$
- Interest rate $i = 8\% = 0.08$
- Number of installments $n = 12$
43. Installment formula (annuity payment):
$$A = P \times \frac{i(1+i)^n}{(1+i)^n - 1}$$
44. Calculate:
$$(1.08)^{12} \approx 2.518$$
45. So:
$$A = 20000 \times \frac{0.08 \times 2.518}{2.518 - 1} = 20000 \times \frac{0.2014}{1.518} = 20000 \times 0.1327 = 2654$$
