The profit of a company earned every month depends of the amount of product sold, p, for $855 each and the amount spent in rent, utilities and other expenses, which always totals $6,780. The CEO of the company earns 15%of this profit. How much does the CEO earn if the company sells 250 products in a given month?

Respuesta :

The CEO earned $ 31,045.5 as profit

Solution:

Given that,

The profit of a company earned every month depends of the amount of product sold, p, for $855 each and the amount spent in rent, utilities and other expenses, which always totals $6,780

Therefore,

[tex]Income = p \times 855\\\\Income = 855p[/tex]

Expenses = $ 6780

Profit = Income - expenses

Profit = 855p - 6780

How much does the CEO earn if the company sells 250 products in a given month?

Substitute p = 250

[tex]Profit = 855 \times 250 - 6780[/tex]

Profit = 206970

The CEO of the company earns 15% of this profit

Profit earned by CEO = 15 % of 206970

[tex]Profit\ earned\ by\ CEO = \frac{15}{100} \times 206970\\\\Profit\ earned\ by\ CEO = 31045.5[/tex]

Thus the CEO earned $ 31,045.5 as profit
