Sure, let's break down the problem step by step:
1. Determine the Selling Price and Profit:
- Natalie sold 5 crates of soda for a total of Sh 8,350.
- She made a profit of Sh 2500.
2. Calculate the Total Buying Price:
- To find out how much Natalie originally paid for the 5 crates, we need to subtract the profit from the total selling price.
- Total Selling Price = Sh 8,350
- Profit = Sh 2,500
- Buying Price of all crates = Total Selling Price - Profit
So,
[tex]\[
\text{Buying Price of all crates} = 8350 - 2500 = 5850 \, \text{Sh}
\][/tex]
3. Calculate the Buying Price per Crate:
- Natalie bought 5 crates of soda.
- To find out the buying price per crate, we divide the total buying price by the number of crates.
- Total Buying Price = Sh 5,850
- Number of Crates = 5
- Buying Price per crate = Total Buying Price / Number of Crates
So,
[tex]\[
\text{Buying Price per crate} = \frac{5850}{5} = 1170 \, \text{Sh}
\][/tex]
Therefore, the buying price of all the crates was Sh 5,850 and the buying price per crate was Sh 1,170.
