The operating costs of a swimsuit distributor are $120,000 per year plus $23 per swimsuit. The current partners have
500,000 to spend and are considering a new partner who has $150,000. How many swimsuits can they produce with and
without the new partner?

Respuesta :

The swimsuits that can be produced with the new partner is  23,043.

The swimsuits that can be produced without the partner is  16,521.

How many swimsuits can be produced?

The equation that relates total cost, operating cost and cost per swimsuit together is

Total cost = operating cost + (cost per swimsuit x number of swimsuits)

500,000 = 120,000 + ($23x s)

500,000 - 120,000 = 23s

380,000 = 23s

s = 380,000 / 23

s = 16,521

Number of swimsuits that can be produced with the new partner:

(500,000 + 150,000)  = 120,000 + ($23x s)

650,000 = 120,000 + 23s

650,000 - 120,000 = 23s

530,000 = 23s

s = 530,000 / 23

s = 23,043
