Answer:
The number of the television sets that is model p is 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Here we have total number of television sold = 40
The model p televisions sold for $30 less than the model q televisions
That is $P = $q - $30
Therefore
Let the quantity of the model p sold be X
Let the quantity of the model q sold be X
Therefore
x + y = 40
Total cost of the television = 40 * 141 = $5640
Therefore, 120*x + 90*y = 5640
Plugging in x = 40 - y in the above equation we get
4800 - 30y = 5640 or
y = -28 and
x = 68
If we put y = 40 - x we get
30x + 3600 = 5640
If we put
120*x + 150*y = 5640.........(3)
we get
x = 12 and y = 28
Therefore, since the model p sold for $30 less than the model q, from the solution of equation (3) the number of the television sets that is model p = 12
Answer: 12 of the 40 televisions were model p televisions
Step-by-step explanation:
Revenue = price × quantity
Let x represent the number of the model p TV sold
The number of model q TV sold would be 40 - x
Revenue from model p TV sold is
px
Revenue from model q TV sold is
(40 - x)q
Total revenue = px + (40 - x)q
The formula for determining average price is expressed as
Average price = total revenue/total number of TV sold.
The average (arithmetic mean) selling price of the 40 televisions was $141. This means that
141 = (px + (40 - x)q)/40
141 × 40 = px + (40 - x)q
5640 = px + (40 - x)q
p = q - 30
5640 = x(q - 30) + (40 - x)q
5640 = xq - 30x + 40q - xq
5640 = - 30x + 40q
If q = 120, then
5640 = - 30x + 40 × 120
5640 = - 30x + 4800
5640 - 4800 = - 30x
840 = - 30x
x = 840/- 30 = - 28
since x cannot be negative, then q is not equal to 120
Again,
5640 = px + (40 - x)q
If q = 30 + p, then
5640 = px + (40 - x)(30 + p)
5640 = px + 1200 + 40p - 30x - px
5640 = 1200 + 40p - 30x
Therefore,
If p = 120, then
5640 = 1200 + 40 × 120 - 30x
5640 = 6000 - 30x
30x = 6000 - 5640
30x = 360
x = 360/30
x = 12
