Answer:
482 scones.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Cost of each scones = $1.50
Their current profits are $578.40 which is 80% of his total sales.
Question asked:
How many scones have they sold ?
Solution:
Let total number of scones sold = [tex]x[/tex]
Cost of 1 scone = $1.50
Cost of [tex]x[/tex] scones = $1.50 [tex]\times x=\$1.5x[/tex] (Unitary method)
80% of his total sales = $578.40 (given)
[tex]\frac{80}{100} \times1.5x=578.40\\0.8\times1.5x=578.40\\1.2x=578.40[/tex]
Dividing both sides by 1.2
[tex]x=482\ scones[/tex]
Thus, they have sold 482 scones.
Answer:
The correct answer is 1.2x = 578.40 where x is quantity of scones and the value of x is 482.
Step-by-step explanation:
Selling price of each scones $1.50.
Chorus profit is 80% of the sale. Therefore chorus profit per piece is 80% of $1.50, i.e. $1.20.
Let x number of scones have been sold.
Total chorus profit selling x number of scones is $ 1.20x.
This value is given to be $578.40.
∴ 1.20x = 80% of 1.5x = 578.40
⇒ x = 482.
Thus 482 scones have been sold to have currents profit as $578.40.
