The number of books sold is 473.
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
- The original cost of each book = $0.64
- The selling price of each book = $0.75
The difference between the original price and selling price of the book gives the profit per book.
The profit of one book = Selling price - Original price
Let,
- The total number of books be 'x'.
- The number of books sold be 'y'.
- The unsold books is 100.
- The total profit is -12 because it was gone to a loss of $12.
Therefore, the equation is formed as
total Profit = 0.75y - 0.64x
⇒ 0.75y - 0.64x = -12 --------(1)
Total books = sold books + unsold books
x = y + 100
⇒ x-y = 100 -------(2)
Substitute x= 100+y in the eq(1),
0.75y - 0.64(100+y) = -12
0.75y - 64 -0.64y = -12
0.11y = -12 +64
y = 52 / 0.11
y = 472.7
y ≅ 473
The number of book sold is 473 books.
The total number of books is (100+473) = 573 books.
Hey there,
Your question states: <span>A store charges $2.10 for a medium bag of fruit slices. Assuming that the rate stays the same, how much should the store charge for a large bag of the slices?
So sense this is a medium bad of fruit slices, we would divide 2.10 by 2.
Your answer would be 1.5 Now, all we do is we add 2.10+1.5 and we get 3.15. The reason would be because sense we now know the price of the size of it being small, we just add that size on top of the medium size to get 3.15.
Hope this helps.
