Question

Geet sells televisions. He earns a fixed amount for each television and an additional $15 if the buyer gets an extended warranty. If Geet sells 1,805 televisions with extended warranties, he earns a total of $27,075. How much is the fixed amount he earns for each television?

Answer 1

To find the fixed amount Geet earns per television, subtract the additional earnings from extended warranties from his total earnings, then divide by the number of televisions sold.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the fixed amount Geet earns for each television without the extended warranty, we need to set up a simple mathematical equation. The total earnings for 1,805 televisions with extended warranties is $27,075. Since he earns an additional $15 per television for the extended warranty, we can subtract this value from the total earnings for each of the 1,805 televisions:

Total earnings without warranties = $27,075 - ($15 × 1,805)

Once we have the total earnings without the warranties, we can divide this amount by the number of televisions to find the fixed amount he earns per television. This calculation will give us the fixed amount Geet earns for each television.
