Question

In 2001, a company marketed 730,000 units of its product. In 2001 its yearly volume was 50% of its volume for 2004. The 2004 volume represents how many units for each of the 365 days of 2004?

Answer 1

Answer: 4,000 units per day.

Explanation:

You know that in 2001 its yearly volume was 50% of its volume for 2004.

Therefore, if in 2001 the company marketed 730,000 units of its product, in 2004 the volume is:

`Yearly\ volume_((2004))=(730,000\ units)(2)=1,460,000\ units`

Let be "x" the number of units for each of the 365 days of 2004, you can find its value by dividing the 2004 volume by 365.

The result is:

`units=(1,460,000\ units)/(365)=4,000\ units.`

Answer 2

4000 units

Explanation:

In 2001 the total number of marketed units= 730,000

If this number represents 50% of what was marketed in 2004, then the total number of units marketed in 2004 was:

(100/50)× 730,000=1460000

To get the number for each of the 365 days in 2004 we divide the total for 2004 by 365

1460000/365= 4000 units
