$409.80.
The amount of net profit the store makes on each container is given by 1.67-0.83 (the amount it is sold for subtracted by the amount it costs the store), which is $0.84 per container. They sell 470 containers, so the net profit at this point is 470(0.84) = $394.80.
However, since the distributor is giving the store a $0.50 refund on all every container under 500 that the store sells, the store gets additional money back:
500-470 = 30 containers not sold
30(0.50) = 15
So the total profit is $394.80 + 15 = $409.80.
6(4x + 5) = 3(x + 8) + 3
24x + 30 = 3x + 24 + 3
24x + 30 = 3x + 27
24x - 3x = 27 - 30
21x = - 3
x = -3/21
x = - 0.143 <==
Answer:
it will take 3 hours long
Add 5 on both sides
Make the denominators the same
Multiply 13 on both sides
