Answer:
Number of smartphones = 45
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Total number of phones = 120
Ratio [Smartphones to feature phones] = 3:5
Find:
Number of smartphones
Computation:
Number of smartphones = 120[3/(3+5)]
Number of smartphones = 120[3/(8)]
Number of smartphones = 360 / 8
Number of smartphones = 45
Answer:
$1340.49
Step-by-step explanation:
From the attached image
Subtotal Cost of Purchased Items

Since the builder receives a 20% contractor's discount, plus and additional 3% for paying in full within 30 days.
Discount = 23% of $1658 = 0.23 X 1658 =$381.34
Total (Less Discount) = 1658-381.34 = $1276.66
Tax on building materials is 5%.
Therefore:
Tax = 5% of $1276.66=0.05 X 1276.66
Tax=$63.83
Therefore, the total bill:
=$1276.66+63.83
Grand Total =$1340.49
Take the discount. Let's call it x%. Turn it into a fraction, and multiply it by the item. Let's call the item "i".
The amount discounted is

.
Now subtract this from the original cost of the item.
Therefore,

is the solution.
I'm not sure what to do for the "arithmetic approach" but for the algebraic approach:
The equation you need to solve would be 5.35x + 182.90 = 750
when you solve it, you would get x = 106, meaning they would have to sell 106 more
