Question 3
A merchant paid $300 for a shipment of x identical calculators.The merchant used 2 of the calculators as demonstrators and sold each of the others for $5 more the average (arithmetic mean) cost of the x calculators.
If the total revenue from the sale of the calculators was $120 more than the cost of the shipment,how many calculators were in the shipment?
因为每台收入5元,即卖出的台数N=120/5=24
另有2台是展示机,即购入数量为24+2=26台.
