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
