Answer 1

To find the cost of each tablet, add the first day's sales of $4,976 to the second day's sales of $3,289 to get a total of $8,265. Then, divide this total by the 95 tablets sold to find that each tablet cost an average of $87.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the cost of each tablet, we first need to determine the total sales revenue from both days. The electronics company made $4,976 on the first day and $3,289 on the second day. The combined total sales is the sum of these two amounts.

First Day Sales: $4,976
Second Day Sales: $3,289
Total Sales: $4,976 + $3,289 = $8,265

Next, we will divide the total sales by the number of tablets sold to find the cost per tablet.

Number of Tablets Sold: 95
Total Sales Revenue: $8,265
Cost per Tablet: $8,265 / 95 = $87

Thus, each used tablet was sold for an average cost of $87.
