It costs a manufacturer $7.95 to produce sunglasses that sell for $21.99. How many pairs of sunglasses must the manufacturer sell to make a profit of $10,530
21.99x -7.94x =y
14.05x=10530
divid each side
x = 750 (the rounded to the next whole number)
To determine how many pairs of sunglasses the manufacturer needs to sell to make a profit of $10,530, we need to find the profit made per pair of sunglasses.
Profit per pair of sunglasses = Selling price - Cost price = $21.99 - $7.95 = $14.04
Now, we can calculate the number of pairs of sunglasses needed to make a profit of $10,530 by dividing the desired profit by the profit per pair of sunglasses:
Number of pairs of sunglasses = Desired profit / Profit per pair of sunglasses
= $10,530 / $14.04
≈ 750
Therefore, the manufacturer needs to sell approximately 750 pairs of sunglasses to make a profit of $10,530.
