Question

Cindy spent $15.25 on ingredients for a blueberry pie and $12.84 on ingredients for a cherry pie. Each slice of pie sells for $3.50.

If Cindy sells 24 slices of blueberry pie and 15 slices of cherry pie, what was her profit?

Answer 1

$136.50

Explanation:

first add 24 + 15

you will get 39

$3.50 x 39 = $ 136.50

Answer 2

61.07 dollars profit

Explanation:

15.25 for blueberry pie = 24 slices (8 slices in a pie)

12.84 for cherry pie = 15 slices (8 slices in a pie)

24x3.50=84

15x3.50=52.5

2x12.84=25.68

3x15.25=45.75

84-45.75=34.25

52.5-25.68=26.82
