You manage an appliance store that currently has excess warehouse inventory. You decide to offer a price reduction on washer-dryer combination sets. As a result of the price reduction, the company sells 36 combination sets, and this reduces their inventory by 25%. How many washer-dryer combination sets are in the warehouse after the sale? 27 70 108 144 864

Respuesta :

Answer:

108

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount of washer-dryer combination sets that are in the warehouse after the sale be x

Initial amount in the ware house is y

y - 36 = 75% of y

y - 36 = 0.75y

0.75y - y = -36

-0.25y = -36

y = 36/0.25

y = 144

The initial amount of wash dryer before sale is 144

After sale the amount of set in the house x = 144 - 36 = 108

Hence there 108 washer-dryer combination sets are in the warehouse after the sale
