Answer:
I believe the answer is X=40
Step-by-step explanation:
cross multiply 5*16 = X * 2
Multiply 5*16
80= X*2
Add '-2x' to each side of the equation
80 + -2x = 2x + -2x
Combine like terms
80 + -2x = 0
Add '-80' to each side of the equation.
80 + -80 + -2x = 0 + -80
Combine like terms: 80 + -80 = 0
0 + -2x = 0 + -80
-2x = 0 + -80
Combine like terms: 0 + -80 = -80
-2x = -80
Divide each side by '-2'.
x = 40
Simplifying
x = 40

Answer:
Profit = $6
Step-by-step explanation:
The box of apple that the man bought contained 100 apples.
These 100 apples were gotten for $44
Then he sold the 100 apples for $0.5 each.
So sales price = 0.5 * 100 = $50
To know if he made profit or loss.
Sales price - cost price
$50 - $44
= $6
This man made profit of $6 from the sales of the apples from the calculation above.
