Answer:

As Bill's sales is £25400, which is greater than £25000, he achieved his target.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of each laptop = £400

lets calculate for 40 laptops first

Given, he sold 40 of these at 30% profit

30% of cost price = 30% of  £400  = 30/100 * 400 = 120

Therefore, selling price of these laptops =  £400  +  £120 =  £520

Total sales generated from selling 40 of these laptop = 40*£520

= £520 =£20,800  

lets calculate for 10 laptops now

Given, he sold 10 of these at 15% profit

15% of cost price = 15% of  £400  = 15/100 * 400 = 60

Therefore, selling price of these laptops =  £400  +  £60 =  £460

Total sales generated from selling 10 of these laptop = 10*£460

= £4600

Total sales generated from selling all the 50 laptop =  

Total sales generated from selling 40 of these laptop + Total, sales generated from selling 10 of these laptop = £20,800  + £4600 = £25,400

Target for Bill = £25000

As his sales is £25400, which is greater than £25000, he achieved his target.

Answer:

For the first one, it is 1150. For the second one, it is 2460.

Step-by-step explanation:

Think of 23 x 50 as (20 x 50) + (3 x 50).

20 x 50 is 1000. 3 x 50 is 150. 1000 + 150 is 1150.

Think of 30 x 82 as (30 x 80) + (30 x 2)

30 x 80 is 2400. 30 x 2 is 60. 2400+60 is 2460.

Solve the equation for y.<br> 2x + 5y = 5<br> y=x +1<br> y= -10% + 25<br> y=22+1<br> y=x +5
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

y=-2/5x+1

y=x+1

y=249/10

y=23

y=x+5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve for x.

y=x+5

Step 1: Flip the equation.

x+5=y

Step 2: Add -5 to both sides.

x+5+−5=y+−5

x=y−5

Answer:

x=y−5
