May I know how many pesos make a dollar, and if the variable x represents the number of stickers sold?

I would guess the number of stickers, but it should make this clear.

If x^2 + 25x + 96 is in pesos instead of dollars,
.... And a guaranteed profit,
x^2 + 25x + 96 < 75x
x^2 - 50x + 96 < 0
(x - 2) (x - 48) < 0
2 < x < 48
Hence more than 2 but less than 48 stickers must be produced daily to ensure a profit.

Do they really factor quadratics in P6?

Greetings Maggie. The question does not originate from Singapore. Quadratic equation is only taught in lower secondary.

Question 1
8000 × (12 - 9)% ÷ (16 - 12)%
= 6000 (ans)
The investor must invest at least 6000.
