Answer:

Yes, Bill surpassed his target by £2,200.

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost for the laptops totals = 50 x 400

= 20,000

He sold 40 laptops with a profit margin of 30%

Calculating that gives (40 x 400) x 1.30

= 20,800

He sold 10 laptops with a profit of 15%

Calculating that gives (15 x 400) x 1.15

= 6900

Thus, the overall sales revenue totals

= 20800 + 6900 = 27,700

       Short answer: 195
First, you multiply 65 by 3, yielding 195 miles.
Then, multiplying 55 by 2 gives you 110 miles.

By summing both distances, you arrive at 305.
From 500, if you subtract 305, you find =195.
