Question

Mr. Kory owns a corn dog stand. In August, he lowered the price of his corn dogs by 10%. As a result, he sold 25% more corn dogs in August than he sold in July. If he sold 1,500 corn dogs in July at a price of $1 each, which equation could be used to determine s, the total amount of money from corn dog sales in August?

Answer 1

S = 0.9[1500 + 0.25(1500)]

Explanation:

Mr. Kory sold corn dogs in July = 1500

Price at which he sold the corn dogs = $1 each

If he lowers the price by 10% then the price of each corn dog = $1 - (10& of $1)

= 1 - (0.10)

= $0.90

Price of corn dogs in August = $0.90

By lowering the price, number of corn dogs sold increases by 25%.

Number of corn dogs sold in August,

= 1500 + (25% of 1500)

= 1500 + (1500 × 0.25)

= 1500(1 + 0.25)

Total amount of money by selling corn dogs in August,

S = 0.9[1500(1 + 0.25)]

S = 0.9[1500 + 0.25(1500)]
