Answer:

  • 7 pounds of fish
  • 18.5 pounds of lobster

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of pounds of lobster sold. Then 25.5-x is the number of pounds of fish. The total money made is ...

  4.25(25.5-x) +9.00x = 196.25

  4.75x + 108.375 = 196.25 . . . . . simplify

  4.75x = 87.875 . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 108.375

  x = 18.5 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 4.75

The market sold 7 pounds of fish and 18.5 pounds of lobster.

A business bought a lot of 2,500 lamps for 50,000 dollars and wants to sell them at 15 percent profit how much should each lamp
aev [14]
50,000 / 2500 = 20....he bought them for 20 bucks a piece. So if he wants to sell them at 15% profit, he would sell them for 20 + 0.15(20) = $ 23 bucks.

A 15% profit of 50,000 dollars is  0.15(50,000) = 7500. Plus the 50 grand spent totals 57500. So they want to make a $ 7500 profit. Selling 2500 lamps at $ 23 per lamp (2500 x 23 = 57500) makes them their profit.

I should just shut up now...answer is $ 23 per lamp
