Answer:
The number of flower pots that were sold is 50
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of flower pots that the store owner bought and sold.
A store owner bought some flower pots for $1,200. Therefore, the cost price for each flower pot would be
1200/x
The flower pots were sold for $2,700, with a profit of $30 per pot. The means that the selling price of each flower pot would be
2700/x
Profit = selling price - cost price
Therefore
2700/x - 1200/x = 30
Multiplying both sides of the equation by x, it becomes
2700 - 1200 = 30x
30x = 1500
x = 1500/30 = 50
