The flu shot ….. math problem?
The price of a flu shot in Maxim Health Systems increased 25% between 2005 and 2006. In 2005, Maxim Health Systems charges $ 20 for a flu shot. If the maximum health flu vaccines sold 2 million people in 2005 to 2,000,000 in 2006, how much gain sales of vaccines against influenza in 2006 than in 2005?
Let's breakdown … Flu vaccine in 2005 at a cost of flu vaccine $ 20 in 2006 at a cost of $ 20 + 25% to 25% of $ 20 is $ 5, then add $ 20 + $ 5 flu vaccines in 2006 = $ 25 2 million people vaccinated against influenza in 2005 2 million people are vaccines against flu in 2006 total revenue in 2005 = 2,000,000 * $ 20 = $ 40,000,000 Total income 2,000,000 * 2006 = $ 25 = $ 50000000 So subtract to see the difference … $ 40,000,000 – $ 50,000,000 $ 10,000,000 ——————— So I won $ 10 million more in 2006 than in 2005
