✔ 最佳答案

(a) 4(1-12.5%)=3.5
the new price of each glass of lemonade is $3.5
(b) 3.5-2.4=1.1
He earn daily after the price reduction is $1.1 for each glass of lemonade
(c) Let the no. of customer is X, originally
Before reduction the price, his profit is
(4-2.4)X=1.6X
After rduction, his profit is
(1.1)(1.2X)=1.32X
Since 1.32X<1.6X, Mr Lee should keep the price at $4 in
order to earn moremoney.
