Step-by-step explanation:
hope u undertstand this is only the answer
The income per book when 5000 books are sold is 22
Given :
- A writer gets a fixed amount for his book apart from the royalty that he gets per book sold.
- He gets Rs. 30000 and Rs. 50000 for 1000 and 2000 books sold respectively
To find :
The income per book when 5000 books are sold is
(a) 32
(b) 22
(c) 18
(d) 25
Solution :
Step 1 of 3 :
Form the equation
Let fix amount = Rs. x and royalty per book the writer sold = Rs. y
It is given that the writer gets Rs. 30000 when 1000 books are sold
∴ x + 1000y = 30000
Again the writer gets Rs. 50000 when 2000 books are sold
∴ x + 2000y = 50000
So the system of equations are
x + 1000y = 30000 - - - - - - (1)
x + 2000y = 50000 - - - - - - (2)
Step 2 of 3 :
Find the value of x and y
x + 1000y = 30000 - - - - - - (1)
x + 2000y = 50000 - - - - - - (2)
Equation 2 - Equation 1 gives
1000y = 20000
⇒ y = 20000/1000
⇒ y = 20
Putting y = 20 in Equation 1 we get
x + (1000 × 20) = 30000
⇒ x + 20000 = 30000
⇒ x = 30000 - 20000
⇒ x = 10000
Step 3 of 3 :
Calculate income per book when 5000 books are sold
The total income when 5000 books are sold
= Rs. [ x + 5000y ]
= Rs. [ 10000 + (5000 × 20) ]
= Rs. [ 10000 + 100000 ]
= Rs. 110000
∴ The income per book when 5000 books are sold
Hence the correct option is (b) 22
