- What percentage of the 60 lamps were sold in the first six days of the sale?
- During the sale, the discounted price of the lamps was $18. After the sale, the remaining lamps were sold without discount. What was the total amount of money collected from selling all 60 lamps?
(a)
Steepest line is from Day 3 to Day 4.
On Da
y 4, the most number of lamps was sold. (b) Number of lamps that were left at Day 6 = 12 Number of lamps that were sold for the first six days = 60 - 12 = 48 Percentage of lamps that were sold for the first six days = 4860 x 100% = 80%
(c)
Number of lamps that were left at the end of the sale = 4
Number of lamps that were sold during the sale
= 60 - 4
= 56
Total amount that collected from the lamps sold
= 56 x 18
= $1008
Price of each lamp after 10% discount
= 100% - 10%
= 90%
90% of the price = 18
1% of the price = 18 ÷ 90 = 0.2
100% of the price = 100 x 0.2 = 20
Amount collected from selling the remaining lamps
= 4 x 20
= $80
Total amount collected from selling all the 60 lamps
= 1008 + 80
= $1088
Answer(s): (a) Day 4; (b) 80%; (c) $1088
