To find the equation based on the information provided, we can identify the relevant variables and formulate the equation step by step.
Let:
- \( C \) be the cost of the container when sold in China.
- \( S \) be the cost of shipping to PNG.
- \( T \) be the total selling price of a container in PNG.
From the information:
- The cost of the container in China is K1500.
- The cost of shipping to PNG is K1000.
- The total selling price of the container in PNG is K3500.
We can express the total cost \( T \) of the container in PNG as the sum of the cost of the container and the shipping cost:
\[ T = C + S \]
Substituting the values for \( C \) and \( S \):
\[ T = K1500 + K1000 \]
Calculating this gives:
\[ T = K2500 \]
However, the selling price in PNG is given as K3500. Thus, if \( P \) is the profit earned on each sale, we can write:
\[ P = T - (C + S) \] \[ K3500 = K1500 + K1000 + P \]
To find the profit:
\[ P = K3500 - K2500 = K1000 \]
In summary, the relationships can be expressed as:
-
Cost equation: \[ T = C + S \]
-
Revenue equation: \[ K3500 = K1500 + K1000 + P \]
Therefore, you could summarize the key relation as
\[ K3500 = K1500 + K1000 + P \]
In this case, you also have a profit equation based on your sale and costs. You can further express it as:
\[ K3500 = K2500 + P \]
or
\[ P = K3500 - K2500 \]
Using these equations, you can analyze the costs, revenue, and profits related to the sale of the container.
