(a)
Steepest line is from Day 3 to Day 4.
On Da
y 4, the most number of sandwich makers was sold. (b) Number of sandwich makers that were left at Day 6 = 60 Number of sandwich makers that were sold for the first six days = 200 - 60 = 140 Percentage of sandwich makers that were sold for the first six days = 140200 x 100% = 70%
(c)
Number of sandwich makers that were left at the end of the sale = 30
Number of sandwich makers that were sold during the sale
= 200 - 30
= 170
Total amount that collected from the sandwich makers sold
= 170 x 136
= $23120
Price of each sandwich maker after 20% discount
= 100% - 20%
= 80%
80% of the price = 136
1% of the price = 136 ÷ 80 = 1.7
100% of the price = 100 x 1.7 = 170
Amount collected from selling the remaining sandwich makers
= 30 x 170
= $5100
Total amount collected from selling all the 200 sandwich makers
= 23120 + 5100
= $28220
Answer(s): (a) Day 4; (b) 70%; (c) $28220
