C.P = 75 * 150 = 11250

2/3 of 150 = 2/3 * 150 = 100
Remaining rugs = 150 - 100 = 50

Therefore,
S.P = 100 * 150 + 50 * 200 = 25000

Profit = S.P - C.P = 25000 - 11250 = 13750

Hence, C.

We see that ⅔ of the 150 rugs, or 100 rugs, are sold for $150 each, and the remaining 50 rugs are sold for$200 each. Since profit = revenue - cost, we have:

Profit = (100 x 150 + 50 x 200) - (150 x 75)

Profit = 15,000 + 10,000 - 11,250

Profit = 13,750

Easy this one,

*Profit = (total) selling prices - (total) costs

We have: Total cost of 150 rugs = 75 x 150 = 11250

150 rugs sold 2/3 <=> 100 rugs were sold with the price of $150 each. => 100 rugs = 100x150=$15000

The 50 rugs rest are sold with the price of $200 each => 50 rugs= 50 x200=$10000

=> G.profit= (15000+10000) - 11250= $13750 Answer C. Re: A rug manufacturer produces rugs at a cost of$75 per rug. What is the   [#permalink] 10 Dec 2018, 20:01
