Problema Solution

It costs the manufacturer $8.95 to produce sunglasses that cost $29.99. How many pairs of sunglasses must the manufacturer sell to make a profit of $17,884?

Answer provided by our tutors

let 'n' represent the number of sunglasses sold, then the profit equation will look like this:


profit = revenue - cost

profile = 29.99n - 8.95n


we want a profit of 17884:

17884 = 29.99n - 8.95n

solving for 'n' we have n=850


850 sunglasses must be sold
