Let's use 50 cents as the price of the item
Two for the price of one = $.50 for two (or $.25 each)
Three for the price of two = $1.00 for 3 or approximately $.33 each
Buy one get 25% off the 2nd means $.50 + (.125 which is 25% of $.50) for a total of $.625 or about $.63 ($.315 or about $.32 each)
Buy Two get 50% off the 2nd means $.50 for the first and $.25 for the 2nd for a total of $.75 or $.375 - about $.38 each
We can see that two for the price of one is the best value since you save $.25 off of $.50 (that's half) and that buy two get 50% off the 2nd is the smallest price reduction since the $.50 item only goes down to $.38 or twelve cents off.
This would work no matter what the cost of the item. The savings would still be in the same proportions.
This problem can simply be expressed in an equation. Let's say that x is the amount of sales that is being looked for here. So our equation will be 0.03x = 180. So to put it simply, the amount of sales (x) has to be multiplied by 0.03 in order to get 180. So to solve for x, all we have to do now is divide 180 by 0.03. If we do that, we will be able to get a final answer of 6,000. So we can conclude that the total amount of sales received by the salesperson is 6,000.
The answer would be 362 miles
add the number of miles from day one and day two
