18.I sell four Christmas puddings for £15 or seven Christmas puddings for £24. It doesn't matter to me as I make the same profit on either transaction. Today, I sold twenty-six Christmas puddings. How much profit did I make? £15 If you write your info out as an equation:
7 puddings + profit = £24
- 4 puddings + profit = £15
_____________________
3 puddings = £9
you see that each pudding costs £3. So 4 puddings cost £12 and my profit is £3. I said I make the same on either deal.
The only way I can sell 26 puddings is by 5 deals (3@4puddings & 2@7puddings). Making £3 on each means total profit is £15.
