If n stands for number sold and c stands for cost per item, in which column would you use the formula: n x c?

A; Column D
B: Column E
C: Column F
D: Column G​

Answer 1

Answer: D: Column G​

Explanation:

If n is the number of items sold and c is the cost per item, multiplying n and c would give the total expenses for selling that item.

As expenses are in column G, this is therefore the right column to use n * c.

This is can be proven by using the Lollipops as an example.

n = 85

c = $0.12

n * c = 85 * 0.12 = $10.20

$10.20 is the amount of expenses for lollipops in Column G so Column G must be right.
