Ratio of pen |
5 u |
2 u |
7 u |
14 u |
Value of each pen |
$2.40 |
$0.90 |
$0.50 |
|
14 u = 420
1 u = 420 ÷ 14 = 30
Number of Pen R
= 5 x 30
= 150
Number of Pen S
= 2 x 30
= 60
Number of Pen T
= 7 x 30
= 210
Total revenue
= 150 x 2.40 + 60 x 0.90 + 210 x 0.50
= 360.00 + 54.00 + 105.00
= $519.00
Answer(s): $519.00
