Jeremy opens a chocolate shop in the city. He pays $1,500 a month for rent and maintenance of the shop. The price of raw materials and manufacturing the chocolates is $6,000 a month. He sells the chocolates individually and in boxes of a dozen. Jeremy understands that his business needs a little time to become a success and decides that he wants to build a customer base initially. He is happy to break even for the first year. If Jeremy sells 2,400 individual chocolates and 50 boxes a month, how should he price his chocolates to break even, given the costs? (Assume that the price of a box is the same as the price of 12 individual chocolates.)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: Amount of money paid by Jeremy as rent and maintenance of shop per month = $1500
Cost of raw materials and manufacturing per month = $6000
Total cost that Jeremy has to spend per month = (1500 + 6000) dollars
      = 7500 dollars
Number of individual chocolates sold = 2400
Number of chocolates sold in boxes = 50 boxes
   = (12 * 50) chocolates
   = 600 chocolates
Then
Total number of chocolates sold by Jeremy = 2400 + 600
   = 3000
Now
Price of each chocolate = 7500/3000 dollars
   = 75/30 dollars
   = 5/2 dollars
   = 2.5 dollars
Price of 600 chocolates = 600 * (5/2) dollars
   = 300 * 5 dollars
   = 1500 dollars
Price of 12 chocolates = (1500/600) * 12
   = 15 * 2
   = 30 dollars
Then
We can say that each box of chocolate should be sold at $30. All the loose chocolates should be sold at $2.5 each.

2x-4xy+5x-2xy-4x-4y?

Answers

Answer: 3x-6xy-4y

Step-by-step explanation: So, it’s been a few years since I’ve been in high school, but if I remember correctly...it should break down as such...

A good method to breaking this down is to use parentheses to break up the equation.

Example: (2x)(-4xy)(+5x)(-2xy)(-4x)(-4y)

Keep in mind we are only using the parentheses as a breaker and not as multiplication as it can be seen.

So, start with the singular ‘x’ variants. (2x) (+5x) (-4x). 2x+5x is 7x. 7x-4x is 3x. Now, move onto ‘xy’ variant. (-4xy) and (-2xy). As these are both negative, they add together to make an even lower number...being -6xy. Onto the final step taking the singular ‘y’ variant. There’s only 1 ‘y’ variant so it just stays -4y.

In the end, you end up with 3x-6xy-4y. :) Hope this helps. If you have any more questions, let me know!
