Acompany makes poppy lapel pins.
each of them costs £1.10 to make.
in october, it made 1000 lapel pins.
35% were given to charities.
the rest are sold in two formats: 60% of them at £3.00 each, 40% of them at £500 for 2.
assuming that all the lapel pins will be sold by the end of november, work out the percentage profit the company should make.
give your answer to 1 decimal place.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total costing is

35% were given to the charity, hence 350 were given to the charity.

There are (1000 - 350) = 650 lapel pins remaining.

60% of 650 = werre sold for 3.00 each. Hence, earning from here is .

40% of 650 = 260 were sold at 5.00 for 2. It can also be said that were sold at 5.00 each. Earning from this section is

Total earning is (1170 + 650) = 1820.

step-by-step explanation:

simplifying

5(x + -6) = 2(x + 3)

reorder the terms:

5(-6 + x) = 2(x + 3)

(-6 * 5 + x * 5) = 2(x + 3)

(-30 + 5x) = 2(x + 3)

reorder the terms:

-30 + 5x = 2(3 + x)

-30 + 5x = (3 * 2 + x * 2)

-30 + 5x = (6 + 2x)

solving

-30 + 5x = 6 + 2x

solving for variable 'x'.

move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

add '-2x' to each side of the equation.

-30 + 5x + -2x = 6 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 5x + -2x = 3x

-30 + 3x = 6 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0

-30 + 3x = 6 + 0

-30 + 3x = 6

add '30' to each side of the equation.

-30 + 30 + 3x = 6 + 30

combine like terms: -30 + 30 = 0

0 + 3x = 6 + 30

3x = 6 + 30

combine like terms: 6 + 30 = 36

3x = 36

divide each side by '3'.

x = 12

simplifying

x = 12

this should .
