Apharmaceutical company sells bottles of 500 calcium tablets in two dosages: 250 milligram and 500 milligram. last month, the company sold 2,200 bottles of 250-milligram tablets and 1,800 bottles of 500-milligram tablets. the total sales revenue was $39,200. the sales team has targeted sales of $44,000 for this month, to be achieved by selling of 2,200 bottles of each dosage. assuming that the prices of the 250-milligram and 500-milligram bottles remain the same, the price of a 250-milligram bottle is $ and the price of a 500-milligram bottle is $ .

The price of 250mg bottle is $8 and the price of 500mg bottle is $12.

Step-by-step explanation:

The company sold last month 250 mg tablets = 2,200 bottles

Bottle of 500 mg tablets = 1,800 bottles

Total sales revenue = $39,200

This month sales team has targeted sales of $44,000 for this month.

They have target of 2,200 bottles of 250 mg tablets that is same as last month.

and 2,200 bottles of 500 mg tablets = 2,200 - 1,800 = 400 more bottles

Now we calculate the price of 500mg tablets by subtracting last month's revenue from this month's target.

price of 400 bottles of 500mg tablets = 44,000 - 39,200 = $4,800

Therefore, the price of one bottle of 500 mg tablet is = = $12 (one bottle of 500mg)

Last month they sold 1,800 bottles, so the revenue generated by 500mg bottles = 1,800 × 12 = $21,600

and revenue generated by 2200 bottles of 250mg tablets = 39,200 - 21,600 = $17,600

Therefore, the price of one bottle of 250mg tablets = 17,600 ÷ 2,200 = $8

The price of a 250mg bottle is $8 and the price of a 500mg bottle is $12.
