Currently Slater Farms uses BumbleBar a co-packer who makes pies for Slaters retail line sold in stores across the U. S.. BumbleBar charges $4 to make each pie and they make about 200,000 pies annually. Slater can buy a pie making machine line for $400,000 and make the pies at their own factory for $3.50 each. Can Slater save money doing this? If so how much? Also about how long would it take Slater to get a pay-back return on the investment (ROI) in buying the pie making machine?

Mariah was working on a multimedia presentation that included both video and audio files. the file was huge, and she wanted to send it to her coworker in another office. she needed to reduce the size of the file so that it could be transmitted faster. the utility she used to do this was

Develop the program incrementally: a) start by reading and displaying each line of the input file to make sure you are reading the data set correctly. b) use the split string method to extract information from each line into a list. print the list to prove that this step is working correctly. d) convert the exam scores to type int and calculate the student’s average. display those items to prove this step is working correctly. e) create a tuple containing the six items for each student (name, exam scores, exam mean). display the tuples to prove this step is working correctly. (optionally, you may want to have the exam scores in a list so your tuple is (name, scores_list, f) append each tuple to a list. display the list to prove this step is working correctly. g) use the sort list method to re-order the tuples in the list. display the list to prove this step is working correctly. h) use a for statement to display the contents of the list as a table (with appropriate formatting). i) use a for statement to calculate the average of all scores on exam #1, then display the results. note that you could have calculated this average within the first loop, but we are explicitly requiring you to do this calculation by looping though your list of tuples. j) add the logic to calculate the average of all scores on exam #2, then display the results.
