Ibm states that it makes a 30% profit over its expenses for producing hard drives. ibm sells each hard drive for $ 390. how much does it cost ibm to make each hard drive?

$300.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent original cost of each hard drive.

We have been given that IBM states that it makes a 30% profit over its expenses for producing hard drives.

The cost of each hard drive after profit would be x plus 30% of x.

We have been given that IBM sells each hard drive for $390. We can represent this information in an equation as:

Therefore, the original cost of each hard drive is $300.
