The ratio of the small :medium: large cake is 5:7:12.
Let the cake is considered to be x;
The sum of alll the cakes is;
5x+7x+12x=24 x
The total no of cake is 216
Each no of cake is found as;
[tex]\rm 24 x = 216 \\\\ x = 9[/tex]
The number of the small cake;
N(s) = 9 ×5 =45
N(m)=9×7=63
N(l)=9×12=108
Let the small cake is x
The profit for one medium cake is twice the profit for one small cake;
P(m)=2x
P(l)=3x
P(s)=x
The small medium and the large cake according to the new condition will be 45 x,126x,324x respectively.
The sum of all the cakes according to the new condition is found as;
[tex]4s x +126 x+324 c \\\\ 495 x=648.45 \\\\ x=\£ \ 1.31[/tex]
