Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
77 unicorns, because yesterday the ratio was 6:5 and today it is 3:4. If you add the numbers for both ratios together, you get 11 and 7. Finding the LCM of these two gives 77 (because 7 and 11 are both prime).
You find the LCM of the sums because when you find values based on ratios, you divide value by the sum of the ratio.
e.g. I have 100 fruits. The ratio of apples to oranges is 2:3. How many apples are there?
To solve this you'd add 2 and 3 (5), divide 100 by 5 (20), multiply that by 2 (40) because that's the ratio of apples to oranges.
In this case, you do the reverse. So If I have 77 unicorns, then yesterday there were (77/11 = 7, 7*6= 42, 7*5= 35) 42 green unicorns and 35 yellow. The sum of 42 and 35 is 77. If you do this process with the other ratio you'll get similar results as well.
Answer:
a) Profit = 84000
b) at break even number of pens sold = 46
Step-by-step explanation:
Profit = Selling price - Cost price
Total revenue generated = 99 * 1000
Total revenue generated = 99000
Total cost on making the pen = 11 * 1000
Total cost on making the pen = 11000
Total cost including the initial cost = 11000 + 4000
Total cost including the initial cost = 15000
Profit = 99000 - 15000
Profit = 84000
Break even is when the cost are equal to Revenue thus no profit or loss
Revenue = total cost (break even)
9x = 1x + 4000
9x - x = 4000
8x = 4000
x = 500
At breakeven Revenue = 9 * 500
At breakeven Revenue = 4500
since one pen is sold at 99 therefore at break even number of pens sold = 4500/99 = 45.45( to 2 decimal place)
at break even number of pens sold = 46
The correct answer is: H.
