Question

if morning sales of a coffee shop is 20% more than its evening sales which is $5500 on a particular day. Find the amount earned by the shop owner from both morning and evening

Answer 1

The coffee shop owner earned $12100 from both morning and evening sales on that day.

Explanation:

Let's start by finding the evening sales of the coffee shop. We know that the evening sales are $5500.

Since we're told that the morning sales are 20% more than the evening sales, we can find the morning sales by adding 20% of the evening sales to the evening sales:

Morning sales = Evening sales + 20% of Evening sales

Morning sales = $5500 + 0.2($5500)

Morning sales = $5500 + $1100

Morning sales = $6600

Therefore, the amount earned by the shop owner from both morning and evening sales on that day is:

Amount earned = Morning sales + Evening sales

Amount earned = $6600 + $5500

Amount earned = $12100

Answer 2

The amount earned by the shop owner from morning sales is $6600 ($5500 x 1.2).
The amount earned by the shop owner from evening sales is $5500.
Therefore, the total amount earned by the shop owner from both morning and evening sales is $12100 ($6600 + $5500).
