PSLE A company offered 100 juicers at 20% discount during a 7-day sale. The line graph shows the number of juicers left unsold at the end of each day.
- On which day was the most number of juicers sold? Give your answer in this format. (Eg Day 1)
- What percentage of the 100 juicers were sold in the first four days of the sale?
- During the sale, the discounted price of the juicers was $152. After the sale, the remaining juicers were sold without discount. What was the total amount of money collected from selling all 100 juicers?
(a)
The steepest line is from Day 2 to Day 3.
On Day 3, the most number of juicers was sold.
(b)
Number of juicers that were left at Day 4 = 55
Number of juicers that were sold for the first four days
= 100 - 55
= 45
Percentage of juicers that were sold for the first four days
=
45100 x 100%
= 45%
(c)
Number of juicers that were left at the end of the sale = 15
Number of juicers that were sold during the sale
= 100 - 15
= 85
Total amount that collected from the juicers sold
= 85 x 152
= $12920
Price of each juicer 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 juicers
= 15 x 190
= $2850
Total amount collected from selling all the 100 juicers
= 12920 + 2850
= $15770
Answer(s): (a) Day 3; (b) 45%; (c) $15770
