AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around how to effectively communicate a promotional offer where customers receive a free case of bottles for every six cases ordered. The supplier will provide one bottle per case for free, while the seller will cover the cost of another bottle per case, resulting in a total of six free bottles for every six cases purchased. The seller's cost per case is $87.85, and the sales price is $114.00, creating a pricing strategy that needs clear presentation. The challenge lies in determining whether this issue is primarily mathematical or related to marketing and advertising. Ultimately, the goal is to present the deal in a way that is both clear and appealing to customers.

Hi, I have the following math problem which I'm a hardtime finding the best way to reflect/calculate.
If anyone can help I would really appreciated. Problem:I have an agreement with a supplier that he will provide a bottle per case (12 bottles in a case) and I will provide a bottle per case. This deal will be passed on to my customer Which I'm asking them to order in increments of6 case quantities so that full case(s) can be shipped no charge on same order. What's the best way to show this special deal?* My cost is \$ 87.85 per case
* My Sales price is \$ 114.00Note: What makes this problem treaky is that the supplier wants to fund 6free bottles and I will fund the other 6 so ultimately this is passed down to the customer as a free case on every 6 cases ordered.

Is this a mathematics problem or an advertising problem?

Seemingly by some mathematical coincidence, a hexagon of sides 2,2,7,7, 11, and 11 can be inscribed in a circle of radius 7. The other day I saw a math problem on line, which they said came from a Polish Olympiad, where you compute the length x of the 3rd side which is the same as the radius, so that the sides of length 2,x, and 11 are inscribed on the arc of a semi-circle. The law of cosines applied twice gives the answer for x of exactly 7, but the arithmetic is so complex that the...
