• Well-Structured: The output is well-organized, presenting the calculations in a logical order and clearly labeling each step.

Snippet of Bot Output:

Agent’s final answer: Here’s the breakdown of the revenue and profit calculations:
Product A:
Revenue: 120 units * $50/unit = $6000
Cost: 120 units * $30/unit = $3600
Profit: $6000 – $3600 = $2400
Product B:
Revenue: 80 units * $70/unit = $5600
Cost: 80 units * $40/unit = $3200
Profit: $5600 – $3200 = $2400
Total:
Total Revenue: $6000 + $5600 = $11600
Total Cost: $3600 + $3200 = $6800
Total Profit: $2400 + $2400 = $4800
Therefore, the total revenue generated from the sales of both products is $11,600, and the total profit generated is $4,800.

How many additional units of each product must be sold to achieve a 10% increase in total revenue?

Agent’s final answer: Here’s how to figure out the additional units needed:
Calculate the target revenue: Current revenue ($11,600) + 10% increase = $12,760
Set up equations: Let x be the additional units of Product A and y be the additional units of Product B. We know that the revenue from these additional units should equal the difference between the target revenue and the current revenue. This can be expressed as:
50x + 70y = $12,760 – $11,600
50x + 70y = $1,160
Find possible solutions: Since we have one equation with two variables, there are multiple possible solutions. Here are a few examples:
Scenario 1: Focus on Product A: If we only sell additional units of Product A (y=0), then: 50x = $1,160, so x = 23.2 units. Since we can’t sell parts of units, we’d need to sell 24 additional units of Product A.
Scenario 2: Focus on Product B: If we only sell additional units of Product B (x=0), then: 70y = $1,160, so y = 16.57 units. We’d need to sell 17 additional units of Product B.
Scenario 3: A Mix of Both: We could also sell a combination of both products. For example, selling 10 additional units of Product A and 10 additional units of Product B would exceed the target revenue.

Time Taken: The agent receives the prompt at 0:14, and the final output appears at 02:20. The total time taken is 2 minutes and 6 seconds.
