Answer:
Mr. Smith collects $5748 from selling the can.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given total number of cans = [tex]33\times12=396[/tex]
Selling price of one can = $15.
[tex]\therefore \textrm{Selling price of 340 cans} = \textrm {selling price of one can} \times \textrm {number of cans}=15\times340=\$5100[/tex]
Now remaining number of cans = total number of cans - sold number of cans =[tex]396-340=54[/tex]
For remaining number of cans he gives a discount of 20% each,
∴ Selling price of one can = [tex]15-\frac{15\times20}{100}=15-3=12[/tex]
∴ Selling price of 54 cans = [tex]\textrm{selling price of one can} \times \textrm{number of cans}=12\times54=\$648[/tex]
So total money he earns = [tex]\$5100+\$648= \$5748[/tex].
Thus Mr. Smith earns $5748 by selling the cans.
