(2700-1200)x = 30
To find out how many flower pots were sold, we can start by determining the profit made from each flower pot.
Given that the cost price of the flower pot is $1,200, and the selling price is $2,700, the profit per flower pot can be calculated as follows:
Profit per flower pot = Selling price - Cost price
Profit per flower pot = $2,700 - $1,200
Profit per flower pot = $1,500
Now, to determine the number of flower pots sold, we can divide the total profit by the profit per flower pot.
Total profit = Number of flower pots sold * Profit per flower pot
$30.00 = Number of flower pots sold * $1,500
Dividing both sides of the equation by $1,500, we get:
Number of flower pots sold = $30.00 / $1,500
Number of flower pots sold = 0.02
Therefore, based on the given information, 0.02 (or 2%) of a flower pot was sold. However, since it is not possible to sell a fraction of a flower pot, we can conclude that the question might be incomplete or there may be some missing information.
