Answers
Answer:
73
Step-by-step explanation:
Price of the chocolate before sales = Rs 4.50
Amount earned = Rs 316.82
Find the factors of 31682
31682 = 2 x 7 x 31 x 73
The new price was not less than half the original price:
2 x 7 x 31 = 434
The new price = Rs 4.34
Find the number of chocolate sold:
Number of chocolate = 316.82 ÷ 4.34 = 73
Answer: 73 chocolates were sold at the reduced price.
