17. A supermarket buys cartons of orange juice
for k dollars each and then sells them for [tex]\frac{4k}{3}[/tex]
dollars each. How many cartons do
they need to sell to make a profit of $2,000?

Respuesta :

Oseni

A total of 6,000 cartons would be needed.

Miscellaneous calculation

Cost price = k dollars

Selling price = 4k/3 dollars

Assuming k = 1 dollar

Profit per carton = 4/3 - 1 = 1/3 dollars

2000/1/3 = 6,000 cartons.

Thus, irrespective of the cost price, 6,000 cartons would be needed to generate a profit of $2,000
