Question

Mr. Blackwell company produces nuts and bolts. The total monthly profit for his company was $76378. The profit earned from nuts was $3428 more than the profit earned from the bolts.

Answer 1

Let b = profit from bolts
Let n = profit from nuts

b + n = total profit

The profit from nuts is $3428 more than the profit from bolts, so we have

n = b + 3428

b + n = 76378

b + b + 3428 = 76378

2b + 3428 = 76378

2b = 72950

b = 36475

n = b + 3428 = 36475 + 3428 = 39903

The profit from nuts is $39903.
The profit from bolts is $36475.

Answer 2

The profit earned from bolts and nuts will be $36475 and $39903 respectively.

• Let the profit earned from bolts be represented by b.

• Therefore, the profit from nuts will be b + 3428.

Therefore, the profit made from each will be:

b + b + 3428 = 76378

2b + 3428 = 76378

2b = 76378 - 3428

2b = 72950

b = 72950/2

b = 36475

Therefore, the profit made from bolts is $36475.

The profit made from nuts will be:

= $36475 + $3428

= $39903
