Question

What is your profit if you sell a carrier 4.70 per 100lbs and the truck was loaded with 41,200

Answer 1

$1,936.40

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we would need to divide the total weight of the truck (41,200 lbs) by the weight of each sale which is 100 lbs. After we do that we then need to multiply this product by the individual cost of each sale which is $4.70 like so...

(41,200 / 100) * 4.70 = x

412 * 4.70 = x

1,936.40 = x

We can see that the total sale amount would be $1,936.40. In order to calculate the profit, we need to subtract the costs from this value but since we are not told the cost we can only assume there is no cost and that this total sale amount is pure profit.
