Question

You sell soup mixes for a fundraiser. For each soup mix you sell, the company that makes the soup receives x dollars l, and you receive the remaining amount. You sell 16 soup mixes for a total of (16x+96) dollars. How much money do you receive for each soup mix that you sell?

Answer 1

Answer: $ 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the cost price of each soup = x dollars

The cost price of 16 soup = 16 x

The selling price of 16 soup = 16 x + 96

Since, the total money received for 16 soup = The selling price of 16 soup - The cost price of 16 soup

= 16 x + 96 - 16 x

= 96

Thus, the total money received for 16 soup = 96 dollars

⇒ The total money received for 1 soup = $\frac{96}{16}$ dollars

⇒ The total money received for 1 soup = 6 dollars

Hence, for each soup 6 dollars is received.
