Answer:
12p=48
Step-by-step explanation:
1 dozen of calculators = 12 calculators
Selling calculators at $20 for every 3 calculators is the same as selling calculators at $80 for every 12 calculators, or 1 dozen.
b=number of dozen of calculators bought, or 6
s=number of dozen of calculators sold, or 6
p=amount of profit
65(b)-80(s)=|p|
65(6)-80(6)=|p|
390-480=|p|
-90=|p|
90=p
The profit on six dozen calculators is $90.
Answer:
(2x+5x)-6=50
7x =56
x=8
5>2, so 5 is the bigger one
5*8=40
the answer is 40
