Question

The $145 selling price of a camera is $80 less than three times the cost of manufacturing the camera. Find the manufacturing cost.

Answer 1

The manufacturing cost of camera is $ 75

Explanation:

Given as :

The selling price of camera = $ 145

Let The cost of manufacturing the camera = $ x

So, According to question

( 3 × The cost of manufacturing ) - $ 80 = $ 145

Or, ( 3 × The cost of manufacturing ) = $ 145 + $ 80

Or, ( 3 × The cost of manufacturing ) = $ 225

∴ The cost of manufacturing =
`(225)/(3)` = $ 75

Hence The manufacturing cost of camera is $ 75 Answer
