at a florist shop on a certain day , all corsages sold for either $ 25 or $ 40 . 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 40 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 @ $ 25 = x , no . of corsages @ $ 40 = y and revenue = r so , 25 x + 40 y = r . . . . . . . . . ( 1 ) now , given the situation , 25 ( x + 8 ) + 40 ( y - 8 ) = r - . 4 r = > 25 x + 200 + 40 y - 320 = . 6 r = > 25 x + 40 y = . 8 r + 120 . . . . . . . . . . . . ( 2 ) so , r = . 6 r + 120 = > r = 300 the answer is e ."
subtract(divide(negate(subtract(multiply(25, 8), multiply(40, 8))), divide(40, const_100)), subtract(multiply(25, 8), multiply(40, 8)))
