- What percentage of the 200 blenders were sold in the first six days of the sale?
- During the sale, the discounted price of the blenders was $162. After the sale, the remaining blenders were sold without discount. What was the total amount of money collected from selling all 200 blenders?
(a)
Steepest line is from Day 3 to Day 4.
On Da
y 4, the most number of blenders was sold. (b) Number of blenders that were left at Day 6 = 50 Number of blenders that were sold for the first six days = 200 - 50 = 150 Percentage of blenders that were sold for the first six days = 150200 x 100% = 75%
(c)
Number of blenders that were left at the end of the sale = 30
Number of blenders that were sold during the sale
= 200 - 30
= 170
Total amount that collected from the blenders sold
= 170 x 162
= $27540
Price of each blender after 10% discount
= 100% - 10%
= 90%
90% of the price = 162
1% of the price = 162 ÷ 90 = 1.8
100% of the price = 100 x 1.8 = 180
Amount collected from selling the remaining blenders
= 30 x 180
= $5400
Total amount collected from selling all the 200 blenders
= 27540 + 5400
= $32940
Answer(s): (a) Day 4; (b) 75%; (c) $32940
