You are working out some estimates for your boss. You can come up with a very good package for your nice little widgets, but the packaging may be too expensive. The cost of the widget and the packaging is $1.10, and the widget is $1.00 more than the package.
How much will you have to tell your boss that the package for each widget will cost?
package = $0.05, widget = $1.05
Widget is $ 1,- more than the packaging. If packaging costs x $, then the widget costs 1+x $. The total cost is then x + (1+x) = 1+2*x $. The total cost is 1,10 $. x is then 0.05 $.
Total Cost $1.10 100% Widget $1.00 91% Packaging $0.10 9%
If the packaging were .03 for example then you add $1.00 total cost would be $1.03. So the only thing it can be is $.10 so that you arrive at $1.10 for total cost.
