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.
