at a florist shop on a certain day , all corsages sold for either $ 20 or $ 30 . if 8 of the corsages that sold for $ 30 had instead sold for $ 20 , then the store ' s revenue from corsages that day would have been reduced by 35 percent . what was the store ' s actual revenue from corsages that day ?
i am doing it elaborately , hope it will help you . let , no . of corsages @ $ 20 = x , no . of corsages @ $ 30 = y and revenue = r so , 20 x + 30 y = r . . . . . . . . . ( 1 ) now , given the situation , 20 ( x + 8 ) + 30 ( y - 8 ) = r - . 25 r = > 20 x + 160 + 30 y - 240 = . 75 r = > 20 x + 30 y = . 75 r + 80 . . . . . . . . . . . . ( 2 ) so , r = . 75 r + 80 = > r = 320 the answer is a .
subtract(divide(negate(subtract(multiply(20, 8), multiply(30, 8))), divide(35, const_100)), subtract(multiply(20, 8), multiply(30, 8)))
