A man finds that it costs $ (300+4N) per day
to make N articles. If the selling price of each article is $7, what are the
minimum articles to be produced per day if he has to make a profit?
This blog makes available plenty of questions for practice, for the Mathematics competitive exams. We also try to bring to students interesting ways of approaching the questions. If you need any assistance in questions from IPM, MTSE, SCHOLARSHIP, OLYMPIAD, CBSE , ICSE or Board test papers, you may write to us.

STD. VI -- exercise on word problems in simple equation
There are two numbers, one of which is 7 times as great as
the other, if the sum of the numbers is 96, then find the numbers?
Divide 70 into two parts so that one may be four times the
other.
One number is 16 times as great as another, and their
difference is 75, find them.
Find two numbers differing by 57 so that one of them is 20
times the other.
Find two numbers whose sum is 52, such that one of them is
one twelfth of the other.
Find two numbers differing by 88 so that one of them is one
ninth of the other.
Find the sum of three numbers whose sum is 56, such that the
second number is twice the first number and the third number equals to four
times the first.
Divide 84 into three parts, such that two of the parts are
equal and the third part is five times as great as either of the equal parts.
Having thought of a number I multiplied it successively by
4, 5 and 8 and added the result. I then subtract the double of the number
thought of and find that the result comes to 45. What number did I think of?
