(a)
Steepest line is from Day 3 to Day 4.
On Da
y 4, the most number of muffin makers was sold. (b) Number of muffin makers that were left at Day 6 = 12 Number of muffin makers that were sold for the first six days = 80 - 12 = 68 Percentage of muffin makers that were sold for the first six days = 6880 x 100% = 85%
(c)
Number of muffin makers that were left at the end of the sale = 4
Number of muffin makers that were sold during the sale
= 80 - 4
= 76
Total amount that collected from the muffin makers sold
= 76 x 56
= $4256
Price of each muffin maker after 20% discount
= 100% - 20%
= 80%
80% of the price = 56
1% of the price = 56 ÷ 80 = 0.7
100% of the price = 100 x 0.7 = 70
Amount collected from selling the remaining muffin makers
= 4 x 70
= $280
Total amount collected from selling all the 80 muffin makers
= 4256 + 280
= $4536
Answer(s): (a) Day 4; (b) 85%; (c) $4536
