A woman makes n baskets and sells them all at the same price
A) if she sells all but three of the basket , she will get #11,400 .express the selling price of a basket in terms of n
B) if she makes three more basket and sells them all , she will get #15000 write down another expression is n for the selling price of a basket
Karen there's no need for multiplying it the answer is #600
A) To express the selling price of a basket in terms of n, we can use the given information.
Let's assume the selling price of a single basket is represented by "x".
The woman sells all but three of her baskets, which means she sells (n - 3) baskets. The total amount she receives from these sales is #11,400.
So, we can set up the equation:
(x) * (n - 3) = #11,400
To find the selling price of a basket in terms of n, we can rearrange the equation:
x = #11,400 / (n - 3)
Therefore, the selling price of a basket in terms of n is #11,400 divided by (n - 3).
B) If the woman makes three more baskets and sells them all, she receives #15,000.
Let's assume the selling price of a single basket after making three more is represented by "y".
She would now be selling (n + 3) baskets.
We can set up the equation:
(y) * (n + 3) = #15,000
To find the selling price of a basket in terms of n, we can rearrange the equation:
y = #15,000 / (n + 3)
Therefore, another expression in terms of n for the selling price of a basket would be #15,000 divided by (n + 3).
A) Let's say the selling price of each basket is represented by "x". If the woman sells all but three of the baskets and earns #11,400, we can set up the equation:
(n - 3)x = 11,400
Now, let's solve for x in terms of n:
x = 11,400 / (n - 3)
B) If the woman makes three more baskets and sells them all, earning #15,000, we can set up the equation:
(n + 3)x = 15,000
Now, let's solve for x in terms of n:
x = 15,000 / (n + 3)
A) p(n-3) = 11400
so, p = 11400/(n-3)
B) p = 15000/(n+3)
But we can't solve for n
Since it would cancel each other.
