A flower vendor sells roses for 50 cents each. how much does she pay per flower if she makes $6.00 on every $20 worth sold

Respuesta :

We are given

selling price of one flower is $0.50

so, [tex] SP=0.50 [/tex]

Let's assume

she sold 'n' flowers to get $20

so, total amount she get after selling 'n' flowers is

[tex] =0.50*n [/tex]

[tex] =0.50n [/tex]

This is supposed to be $20

so, we can set it equal to 20

[tex] 20=0.50n [/tex]

now, we can solve for n

we get

[tex] n=40 [/tex]

we are given

she makes $6.00 on every $20 worth sold

so, we can find cost of 40 flowers is 20-6

total cost is 14

or cost of 40 flowers is $14

now, we can find cost of one flower

[tex] CP=\frac{14}{40} [/tex]

[tex] CP=0.35 [/tex]

so, cost of each flower is 35 cents...............Answer

The amount she pays per flower is therefore; 35 cents

According to the question:

  • The selling price of roses is 50cents = $0.50 each.
  • The selling price for x no. of roses sold is = $20.

In essence, the no. of flowers, x sold is;

  • x = 20/0.05

  • x = 40.

Consequently, the cost price of 40 roses is therefore; $20 - $6 = $14

The cost per flower is therefore;

  • =$14/40 = $0.35

The amount she pays per flower is therefore; 35 cents.
