SUMMARY

The discussion centers on solving a revenue problem involving a reduction in duty. The initial revenue formula is established as $R=0.06Q$, where $R$ represents revenue and $Q$ is quantity. A new duty $D$ is introduced, leading to the equation $\frac{2}{3}R=D\frac{3}{2}Q$. The solution for $D$ is derived as $D=\frac{4}{9}\cdot\frac{R}{Q}$. The user seeks guidance on setting up the proper equation to complete the problem.

Again here is another problem I am having trouble with.
View attachment 5644For this one

I let $x=$ amount reduced from the original duty
$6-x=$ new amount after reduction.
And knowing the formula for revenue $R=Q*P$ but I can't use it because there is no given quantity.

Please kindly guide me on how to set up proper equation for this one.
Thanks a lot!

Initially, the revenue from the duty (in shillings) is given by:

$$R=0.06Q$$

When a new duty $D$ is imposed, we find:

$$\frac{2}{3}R=D\frac{3}{2}Q$$

Solving for $D$, we obtain:

$$D=\frac{4}{9}\cdot\frac{R}{Q}$$

Can you finish?
