Question

A certain math club makes 30 bars of chocolate a week and sells these at P30 each. Before the chocolate can all be sold, the pupil found out that 6 bars eaten by mice. How much will be the total sale at the end of the four week month? solution

Answer 1

Amount that would be made from sale of 30 bars in one week selling each bar at P30 would be, (number of bars x cost of each bar)

$(30x30) = 30^2$

In 4 weeks would be,

$(30x30)4 = 30^2 x 4=3600$

Cost of the 6 bars eaten by mice will be,

$(30x6)=180$

Therefore amount made from the sale in 4 weeks will be,

$(3600-180)= 3420$

Therefore the sale will amount = P3420
