- On which day was the most number of lamps sold? Give your answer in this format. (Eg Day 1)
- What percentage of the 200 lamps were sold in the first six days of the sale?
- During the sale, the discounted price of the lamps was $48. After the sale, the remaining lamps were sold without discount. What was the total amount of money collected from selling all 200 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 = 60 Number of lamps that were sold for the first six days = 200 - 60 = 140 Percentage of lamps that were sold for the first six days = 140200 x 100% = 70%
(c)
Number of lamps that were left at the end of the sale = 40
Number of lamps that were sold during the sale
= 200 - 40
= 160
Total amount that collected from the lamps sold
= 160 x 48
= $7680
Price of each lamp after 20% discount
= 100% - 20%
= 80%
80% of the price = 48
1% of the price = 48 ÷ 80 = 0.6
100% of the price = 100 x 0.6 = 60
Amount collected from selling the remaining lamps
= 40 x 60
= $2400
Total amount collected from selling all the 200 lamps
= 7680 + 2400
= $10080
Answer(s): (a) Day 4; (b) 70%; (c) $10080
