A shop sells two types of pens dot and gel in four given days. Sunday: Total number of dot pens sold is 25. Monday: dot pens sold are X% more than that on Sunday. Tuesday: dot pen sold are 50% more than that on Monday. Wednesday: total dot pens sold 100. Total number of dot pens sold in all four days are 250 and total number of gel pens sold on these four days are Y% less than dot pens sold on each day. Total gel pens are 50.
If the cost of each gel pens is Rs 5 and cost of each dot pens is Rs 10. Find the revenue generated by selling all the pens on Tuesday.
Correct Answer :
825
Solution :
To find the revenue generated by selling all the pens on Tuesday, we need to determine the number of dot pens and gel pens sold on Tuesday.
Step 1: Understand the dot pens sold on each day
Let the number of dot pens sold on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday be , , , and respectively.
We are given:
- Sunday:
- Monday:
- Tuesday: (50% more than Monday)
- Wednesday:
- Total dot pens sold in all four days = 250
Using the total sum of dot pens:
Substituting the known values:
Now, we can find the number of dot pens sold on Tuesday:
Step 2: Find the gel pens sold on Tuesday
We are given that the total number of gel pens sold over these four days is 50. Let the gel pens sold on each day be , , , and respectively.
The gel pens sold on these four days are Y% less than the dot pens sold on each corresponding day. This means:
Summing this over all four days:
Thus, the number of gel pens sold on any day is times (or 20% of) the dot pens sold on that day.
For Tuesday:
Step 3: Calculate the revenue generated on Tuesday
- Cost of each dot pen = Rs 10
- Cost of each gel pen = Rs 5
Revenue from Tuesday's sales:
Therefore, the revenue generated by selling all the pens on Tuesday is Rs 825.
