A company produces skies. Fixed costs are $2000, and the cost of producing each pair of skies is $190. The selling price is $320 (per pair). How many pairs should be sold to make a profit of $25300?

Answer provided by our tutors

fixed cost =2000

cost per pair=190

let the no. of pair be X

so the total cost inccur=2000+190X

he want a profit =25000

so X item should be sold at =2000+190X+25300

=190X+27000........................(1)

but selling price of each pair=320

for x pair=320X........................(2)

(1) and (2) are equal

320x=190X+27300

130X=27300

x=27300/130

=210 pairs.
