Question

You work at a grocery store. Last week, you sold 213 potatoes to customers and lost 6 potatoes due to expiration. The store paid $0.47 per potato and sold each potato for &0.88. What profit did the store make on potatoes last week ?

Answer 1

Total Sold potatoes =213

Paid price=213*0.47=100.11

Sold price=213*0.88=187.44

Lost potatoes=2.82

=187.44-100.11-2.82

Profit =84.51
