Answer 2

Answer:

Thus our artist now has to draw 24 Portraits a day (hence 6 more portraits per day) if he wants to lower the price from $16 to $12 per portrait and still make the same profit of $1440.

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets analyse the information given in the question for our caricature arist.

• 18 Portraits per Day Drawn
• $16 Per Portait Charged
• 5 days work in a week

This can tells us the Profit the arist makes in 5 days of work selling 18 portraits for $16 per portrait by multiplying all three values together as:

$Profit = 18_{portraits}*16_{dollars}*5_{days}=1440$    Eqn(1)

Now the question tells us that the artist lowered the price from $16 to $12 dollars and he needs to know the number of portraits he must make now to still make the same profit of $1440 as in Eqn(1). In the first part our uknown was the Profit. In this part our known is the Portraits number (lets call it $p$) so Eqn(1) can now be expressed as follow, to obtain $p$ that will still gives as $1440 Profit:

$12_{dollars}*5_{days}*p=1440\\\\60p=1440\\\\p=\frac{1440}{60} \\p=24$

Thus our artist now has to draw 24 Portraits a day (hence 6 more portraits per day) if he wants to lower the price from $16 to $12 per portrait and still make the same profit of $1440.
