Question

Over the first 3 months of the year you sold \(12,15,\) and 21 SuperPix digital cameras. The total in sales was \(\$ 9360\). A. Let \(p\) represent the price of one SuperPix digital camera. Write the equation for your total in sales over these 3 months. B. Solve the equation in part a to determine the retail price of the SuperPix digital camera. C. This month you sell 10 of these cameras. What is your total in sales?

Short answer

Answer: The total sales amount for selling 10 SuperPix digital cameras this month is $1950.

Step-by-step solution

Write the equation for total sales for the first 3 months

We are given that the total sales for the first 3 months is \(\$ 9360\). Let p be the price of one SuperPix digital camera. Then, the total sales for the first 3 months can be written as: 12p + 15p + 21p = 9360

Solve the equation for p

Combine the terms on the left side of the equation: 48p = 9360 To find the value of p, divide both sides by 48: p = 9360 / 48 = 195 So, the price of one SuperPix digital camera is \(\$ 195\).

Find the total sales for selling 10 cameras this month

Now that we know the price of one SuperPix digital camera, we can find the total sales for selling 10 cameras this month. The total sales for selling 10 cameras will be: 10 * 195 = 1950 So, the total sales for selling 10 cameras this month is \(\$ 1950\).
