- What percentage of the 200 sandwich makers were sold in the first four days of the sale?
- During the sale, the discounted price of the sandwich makers was $133. After the sale, the remaining sandwich makers were sold without discount. What was the total amount of money collected from selling all 200 sandwich makers?
(a)
The steepest line is from Day 2 to Day 3.
On Day 3, the most number of sandwich makers was sold.
(b)
Number of sandwich makers that were left at Day 4 = 100
Number of sandwich makers that were sold for the first four days
= 200 - 100
= 100
Percentage of sandwich makers that were sold for the first four days
=
100200 x 100%
= 50%
(c)
Number of sandwich makers that were left at the end of the sale = 40
Number of sandwich makers that were sold during the sale
= 200 - 40
= 160
Total amount that collected from the sandwich makers sold
= 160 x 133
= $21280
Price of each sandwich maker after 30% discount
= 100% - 30%
= 70%
70% of the price = 133
1% of the price = 133 ÷ 70 = 1.9
100% of the price = 100 x 1.9 = 190
Amount collected from selling the remaining sandwich makers
= 40 x 190
= $7600
Total amount collected from selling all the 200 sandwich makers
= 21280 + 7600
= $28880
Answer(s): (a) Day 3; (b) 50%; (c) $28880
