Question

A grocery store bought yogurt for $2.20 per container and stored it in two refrigerators. During the night, one refrigerator malfunctioned and ruined 13 containers. If the remaining yogurt is sold for $3.94 per container, how many containers did the store buy if they made a profit of $105.38?

Answer 1

96

Explanation:

X be the total containers bought

Sales - cost = profit

4.08(X - 14) - 2.6X = 84.96

4.08X - 2.6X - 57.12 = 84.96

1.48X = 142.08

X = 96
