Answer:
£17.50
Step-by-step explanation:
30 punnets / £20
= 30 / 20
= 1.5
1 punnet costs £1.5
30 strawberries * (1/6 punnets)
= 30 * (1/6)
= 30/6
= 5
5 punnets were rotten.
5 rotten punnets * £1.5
= 5 * 1.5
= 7.5
Sandeep lost £7.5 in profits.
6/6 punnets - 1/6 rotten punnets
= 6/6 - 1/6
= 5/6
5/6 punnets are good
30 punnets * 5/6 good punnets
= 30 * 5/6
= 150/6
= 25
Sandeep has 25 punnets left to sell
25 punnets to sell * £1.50
= 25 * 1.5
= 37.50
Sandeep will get £37.50 from selling the punnets. However, you must take into account that he lost £20 when he bought the strawberies. THat money while be added back with some extra money left over:
£37.50 - £20
= 37.50 - 20
= 17.50
Put all into 1 equation:
{[30 * (5/6)] * 1.50} - 20
= {(150/6) * 1.50} - 20
= {25 * 1.50} - 20
= 37.50 -20
= 17.50
Overall, Sandeep's actual profits are equal to 17.50
I hope this is correct! Please tell me if the answer or info I gave was wrong!
