First we have to find 25% of 900 pounds (i hope that's the right currency). so 900 x .25 = 225
so we subtract 225 from 900 and get 675 pounds.
to find sales tax we have to find 6% of 675, so 675 x .06 = 40.50
675 + 40.50 = 715.5 pounds
47/5=9.40
9*5=45
47/5= 9 2/5
Distribute the negative:
6x-3-8x-11
Combine like terms:
-2x-14
Simplify by factoring:
-2(x+7)
Answer:
134 sneakers and 66 sandals
Step-by-step explanation:
Sneakers= x, sandals= y
Profit rate:
- sneakers: (10-2)/8= 25%
- sandals: (17-14)/14= 21.4%
Sneakers are more profitable, so it should be maximized.
Cost:
8x+14y≤2000
x+y≤200
if we assume the maximum of 200 shoes stocked, then:
x= 200-y
8(200-y)+14y ≤ 2000
1600 - 8y +14y ≤ 2000
6y≤400
y≤66 and x=134 is the best option
