OA=C

Given: p=c+30

(1) (Revenue) = (price) * (# of sweaters sold) --> 270=p*n=(c+30)n. Not sufficient to determine n.

(2) p=1.5c=c+30 --> c=60. Not sufficient.

(1)+(2) c=60 and 270=(c+30)n=90n --> n=3. Sufficient.

Answer: C.

Could you please explain :
Revenue = price * # of sweaters sold --> . Not sufficient to determine .

The total revenue from the sale is (price per unit) * (# of units sold).

(Selling price per unit) - (Cost price per unit) = (Gross profit from one unit).
