A software company offers two types of licenses: Single-User and Multi-User. The company charges $50 per Single-User license and $120 per Multi-User license. If a company purchases a combination of Single-User and Multi-User licenses that cost a total of $1,200 and the total number of licenses purchased is 20, how many of each type of license were purchased?

Let 𝑥 x be the number of Single-User licenses and 𝑦 y be the number of Multi-User licenses. Equations: 50 𝑥 + 120 𝑦 = 1200 50x+120y=1200 and 𝑥 + 𝑦 = 20 x+y=20 Solving the system of equations: 𝑥 + 𝑦 = 20 ⇒ 𝑦 = 20 − 𝑥 x+y=20⇒y=20−x Substituting into the first equation: 50 𝑥 + 120 ( 20 − 𝑥 ) = 1200 50x+120(20−x)=1200 50 𝑥 + 2400 − 120 𝑥 = 1200 50x+2400−120x=1200 − 70 𝑥 = − 1200 −70x=−1200 𝑥 = 12 x=12 𝑦 = 20 − 12 = 8 y=20−12=8 Therefore, 12 Single-User and 8 Multi-User licenses were purchased.

You have received the following information from three different sources:- Source 1: A report states that Company X had a 10% increase in sales last quarter, totaling $2.2 million. Source 2: A market analysis predicts that if Company X's sales increase by an additional 15% next quarter, it will reach $2.53 million in sales. Source 3: Company X's CFO mentioned in an interview that operational costs remain at $1.5 million per quarter. What will be Company X's profit margin if the predicted sales increase by 15% next quarter comes true?

Current sales: $2.2 million Next quarter sales (15% increase): $2.2 million * 1.15 = $2.53 million Operational costs: $1.5 million Profit: $2.53 million - $1.5 million = $1.03 million Profit margin: ($1.03 million / $2.53 million) * 100 = 40.71%
