The owner of a small business is aiming to increase sales by ₱1000 weekly. If this condition is met, how much should be the sales on the first week to reach exactly ₱75 000 worth of sales in ten weeks?
Type your answer without the peso sign.
Thus, the sales for the first week should be ₱3000.
Wondering what is the amount of sales initially? 74,000, or 24,000? It matters
s + (s+P1000)10 = P75000.
s + 10s + P10000, = P75000,
11s = P65000,
S =P5909 = Initial sales.
S + P1000 = P5909 + P1000 = P6909 sales the first wk.
To calculate the necessary sales on the first week to reach a total of ₱75,000 in ten weeks, we need to determine the incremental increase in sales per week.
First, we calculate the total increase in sales required over ten weeks:
Total Increase = ₱1,000 x 10 = ₱10,000
Next, we add the total increase to the desired total sales of ₱75,000 to find the target sales after ten weeks:
Target Sales after Ten Weeks = ₱75,000 + ₱10,000 = ₱85,000
Finally, we subtract the target sales after ten weeks from the desired total sales to find the sales required on the first week:
Sales on First Week = Target Sales after Ten Weeks - Desired Total Sales
= ₱85,000 - ₱75,000
= ₱10,000
Therefore, the sales on the first week should be ₱10,000 to achieve exactly ₱75,000 worth of sales in ten weeks.
