PSLE A company offered 100 toasters at 20% discount during a 7-day sale. The line graph shows the number of toasters left unsold at the end of each day.
- On which day was the most number of toasters sold? Give your answer in this format. (Eg Day 1)
- What percentage of the 100 toasters were sold in the first five days of the sale?
- During the sale, the discounted price of the toasters was $152. After the sale, the remaining toasters were sold without discount. What was the total amount of money collected from selling all 100 toasters?
(a)
The steepest line is from Day 1 to Day 2.
On Day
2, the most number of toasters was sold.
(b)
Number of toasters that were left at Day
5 = 35 Number of toasters that were sold for the first five days = 100 - 35 = 65 Percentage of toasters that were sold for the first five days
=
65100 x 100%
= 65%
(c)
Number of toasters that were left at the end of the sale = 10
Number of toasters that were sold during the sale
= 100 - 10
= 90
Total amount that collected from the toasters sold
= 90 x 152
= $13680
Price of each toaster after 20% discount
= 100% - 20%
= 80%
80% of the price = 152
1% of the price = 152 ÷ 80 = 1.9
100% of the price = 100 x 1.9 = 190
Amount collected from selling the remaining toasters
= 10 x 190
= $1900
Total amount collected from selling all the 100 toasters
= 13680 + 1900
= $15580
Answer(s): (a) Day
2; (b) 65%; (c) $15580
