If r(x)= 11x, and c(x)=6x +20, then just put that into the equation.
So instead of p(x) = r(x) - c(x)
I would be p(x) = 11x - 6x + 20
Now solve.
p(x) = 5x + 20 is your final answer, so A.
$25.12
Work:
23.99+3.60=27.59
27.59-4.51=23.08
23.08+0.95=24.03
24.03+2.17=26.20
26.20-1.08=25.12
Let the original profits be $x. 5% increase in profits will give us:
105/100×x=$1.05x
3% reduction in new profits ill give us the latest amount to be:
97/100×1.05x
=$1.0185x
comparing our new profits to our original amount of $x we shall have new percentage increase to be:
(1.0185x-x)/x×100
=1.85%
Thus our final increase 1.85%
