Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

SOLUTION: The ratio of the profit, cost of materials and labour in the production of an article is 5 : 7: 13 respectively. If the cost of materials is GH¢ 840 more than that of labour. fin

The ratio of the profit, cost of materials and labour in the production of an article is 5 : 7: 13 respectively. If the cost of materials is GH¢ 840 more than that of labour. find the total cost of producing the article.

Note: GH¢ stands for Ghana Cedis

The problem formulation is HEAVILY INCORRECT.

One part of the condition says that the cost of materials and the labor are 7x and 13x respectively,

where x is their common measure, a positive value.

The other part says that the cost of materials (7x) is 840 MORE than that of labor (13x).

It can not be so, BECAUSE it can NEVER be so.
