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%

In a group of employees, 60% are women, 40% are managers, and 20% are both women and managers. If every manager is a woman, what percentage of the women are managers?

Since every manager is a woman, the percentage of women who are managers is the same as the percentage of managers, which is 40%. Therefore, the percentage of women who are managers is 60%×40%=33.33%.

Among a group of students, 20 like mathematics, 15 like science, and 10 like both mathematics and science. If every student in the group likes at least one subject, what is the minimum number of students in the group?

The minimum number of students in the group is the sum of students who like mathematics and those who like science, minus the number of students who like both subjects. So, 20+15−10 = 25 Since every student likes at least one subject, the minimum number of students is 25 + 10 = 35.
