Assuming that profit of a shopkeeper in a particular commodity is a linear expression of transportation charge (t) and the quantity of commodity (q). He earns a profit of Rs. 10,000 by selling 20 units at the transport charge of Rs. 400. He also earns a profit of Rs. 12,000 by selling 25 units at the transport charge of Rs. 600. What is the linear expression in t and q?
Elementary MathematicsAlgebra
- A600q - 5t
- B500q - 4t
- C600q - 4t
- D500q - 5t
Explanation
Solving 20a + 400b = 10000 and 25a + 600b = 12000 gives a = 600, b = -5, i.e. 600q - 5t.
