It is given that
Teslamakes a profit of Rs 100 on each car it sells
While it makes a loss of Rs 150 each time they send a rocket into space.
Teslawants to make a profit of Rs 3000.
Total number of rockets sent to space this year = 10
Total Loss due to the rockets = 10 $\times$ 1500 = Rs 1500
Let $x$ number of cars be sold, so as to make a profit of Rs 3000.
Net Profit = Profit from selling cars - loss due to sending of rockets
So on substituting the values, we get:
3000 = 100 $\times$ $x$ - 1500
$x$ = (3000 + 1500) $÷$ (100)
$x$ = 4500 $÷$ 100
$x$ = 45
So, the total number of cars that need to be sold to make a profit of Rs 3000 are 45.
It is given that, 10 cars have already been sold.
Number of cars that need to be sold to meet the target = 45 - 10 = 35
So, 35 more cars need to be sold to meet the target.
