Remark
Whatever the original price, he gets 70% in the first instance.
He gets 80% in the second instance.
He gets 90% in the third instance
His total income is 240 dollars.
Let the original price be x
Equation
70%x + 80%x +90%x = 240
70% = 0.7 ; 80% = 0.8 ;90% = 0.9
Solution
0.7x + 0.8x + 0.9x = 240 Take out x as a common factor and add the decimals.
x (0.7 + 0.8 + 0.9) = 240
2.4x = 240 Divide both sides by 2.4
x = 240/2.4
x = 100
So the watches should have brought in 3*100 = 300 dollars.
He only brought in 240 dollars.
He lost 300 - 240 = 60 dollars.
The answer is B.
Answer:
91 child tickets were sold
Step-by-step explanation:
Let c represent the number of child tickets sold. Then the number of adult tickets sold is (150-c) and the total revenue is ...
5.20c +8.70(150-c) = 986.50
-3.50c +1305 = 986.50 . . . . simplify
-3.50c = -318.50 . . . . . subtract 1305
c = -381.50/-3.50 = 91
The number of child tickets sold that day was 91.
Let us say that S is the total food sales therefore we can
create the following equation:
0.20 S = 625 + 0.10 S
Solving for S:
0.10 S = 625
S = 6250
<span>Therefore the food sales should amount to $6,250</span>
