A pharmaceutical company sells bottles of 500 calcium tablets in two dosages: 250 milligram and 500 milligram. Last month, the company sold 2200 bottles of 250-milligram tablets and 1800 bottles of 500-milligram tablets. The total sales revenue was $39200. The sales team has targeted sales of $44000 for this month, to be achieved by selling of 2200 bottles of each dosage.
Assuming that the prices of the -milligram and -milligram bottles remain the same, the price of a 250-milligram bottle is $Ans and a 500-milligram bottle is $Ans.
x = 500mg price
y= 250 mg price
1800x + 2200y =39200
and
2200x + 2200y =44000
Subtract second from first equation
-400x = -4800 x = 12
So 12 bucks for 500 mg bottle
1800(12) + 2200y = 39200 y= 8 $ 8 for 250 mg tab bottle
