Chapter 19: Problem 1
The numbers \(m, n,\) and \(T\) are all positive, and \(m>n .\) A weekend farm stand sells only peaches. On Saturday, the farm stand has \(T\) peaches to sell, at a profit of \(m\) cents each. Any peaches remaining for sale on Sunday will be marked down and sold at a profit of \((m-n)\) cents each. If all peaches available for sale on Saturday morning are sold by Sunday evening, how many peaches, in terms of \(T, m,\) and \(n,\) does the stand need to sell on Saturday in order to make the same profit on each day? a. \(\frac{T m}{m-n}\) b. \(\frac{T m}{n-m}\) c. \(\frac{m(m-n)}{T}\) d. \(\frac{T}{m-n}\) e. \(\frac{T(m-n)}{2 m-n}\)
