Question

Rayée sold 3 desks at the local trade show. H paid $4.00 to rent the booth. He gave half of his revenue to the carpenter and was left with $185.50. At what price did he Rayen sell with each desk

Answer 1

$125

Explanation:

Given the following :

Number of desks sold = 3

Amount of rent paid = $4

Amount paid to carpenter = 1/2 of revenue

Amount left = $185.50

At what price did Ryan sell each desk?

If Rayee gave half of his revenue to the carpenter and then had $185.50 left,

The his revenue before paying the carpenter will be twice what he has left ($185.50 * 2) = $371

Hence, total revenue from the sale of 3 desk= ($371 + rent) = (371 + 4) = $375

Then each desk cost :

$375 / 3 = 125

$125
