Profit (P) is calculated by subtracting the total cost (C) from the total revenue (R). The calculations are shown below, 

       R = (1440 dozens) x (12 pieces / 1 dozen) x (25 cents/ piece) = $4320
                   C = (1440 dozens) x ($2.50 / dozen) = $3600
 
                          Profit = R - C = $4320 - $3600 = $720

Thus, the businessman's profit is $720.

the first group of students consists of 10 and their average age was 13 years old the next group consisted of 30 students and th
Kazeer [188]

Answer: The average was 9 years old find the average age of both groups is 10 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula foe average : \text{Average} =\dfrac{\text{Sum of all observations}}{\text{Number of observations}}

Given : The first group of students consists of 10 and their average age was 13 years old.

i.e. 13=\dfrac{\text{Sum of ages of students of first group}}{10}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \text{Sum of ages of students of first group}=13\times10=130      (1)

The next group consisted of 30 students and their average was 9 years old.

i.e. 9=\dfrac{\text{Sum of ages of students of next group}}{30}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \text{Sum of ages of students of nextgroup}=9\times30=270      (2)

Then from (1) and (2) , the sum of both groups (first group and next group )students = 130+270 =400

Combined students of both groups (first and next group )= 10+30=40

Now , the average of both groups =\dfrac{\text{Sum of combined students}}{\text{combined students}}

=\dfrac{400}{40}=10

Hence, the average was 9 years old find the average age of both groups is 10 years old.
