Study Notes
Company Profits
- A company's profit is $15000.
- The company's profit is $3000 less than five times the amount of a rival company's profit.
Rival Company's Profit
- The rival company's profit is 1/5 of ($15000 + $3000) = $18000 / 5 = $3600.
- The rival company's profit increases by 20%.
- The new profit of the rival company is $3600 + (20% of $3600) = $3600 + $720 = $4320.
Increase in Company's Profit
- To remain $3000 more than the rival company's new profit, the company's new profit needs to be $4320 + $3000 = $7320.
- The company's profit needs to increase by $7320 - $15000 = $5820.
