Problem Solving

A marketer bought N crates of empty cardboard gift boxes. Each crate held Q individual gift boxes, and the lot of N crates was purchases at a wholesale price of W dollars. This marketer will sell collections of J cardboard gift boxes to retailers, at a price of P dollars for each collection. (Note: J is a divisor of Q.) The marketer knows that, when he has sold all the cardboard gift boxes this way, he wants to net a total profit of Z dollars on the entire transaction. What price P must he charge, to net this profit? Express P in terms of N, Q, W, J, and Z.


A. J(Z - W)/(NQ)
B. J(Z + W)/(NQ)
C. Q(Z - W)/(NJ)
D. Q(Z + W)/(NJ)
E. N(Z - W)/(QJ)
