Assume the smaller one is x, then the other ones will be x+2 and x+4
x(x+2) + 2 = 5(x+4)
x^2 + 2x - 5x - 18 = 0
-> x^2 - 3x - 18 = 0
-> (x-6)(x+3) = 0
-> x = 6 or -3, since x must be positive, then x = 6
So the numbers are: 6, 8, 10
The regular selling price per unit for the laptop is $298.6.
<h3>How to calculate the price?</h3>
Let the regular price per unit be x.
The expense is 19% of the selling price and profit is 25% of the selling price. This will be illustrated as:
x + (19% × x) + (25% × x) = 430
x + 0.19x + 0.25x = 440
1.44x = 430
Divide
x = 430 / 1.44
x = 298.6
The price is $298.6
