Hi kevincan
Could you please post the explanation for this question? I don't understand how the answer is 6. It should be 5.
Revenue = 3n*4.6
Cost = 3*n + 4*n + x*n
Profit = 13.8*n - 7*n - x*n = 6.8*n - x*n
Profit % = 0.15 = (6.8*n - x*n)/(7*n + x*n)
Solving, x = 5.00

You made a mistake with the variables used.
The question says, equal AMOUNTS, not equal SHARES.
The amounts spent each day is like 3a,4b,xc where 3a=4b=xc.
The right equation is:
4.6(a+b+c) = 1.15(3a+4b+xc)
Also using:
3a=4b=xc
You will get x=6.
Hope it helps.
