Answer 2

Dana's Total profit is: $ 92

Explanation:

Profit is the:

Selling price of an item-Cost price of an item.

Hence, the profit on n item of same type is given by:

Profit=n(selling price of one item-Cost price of one item)

• She bought two shirts for $5.00 each and later sold them for $9.00 each.

Cost price of one shirts is: $ 5

Selling price of one shirts is: $ 9

Profit on two shirts= 2(9-5)

• She bought three pairs of jeans for $9.00 each and later sold them for $17.00 each.

Cost price of one pair of jeans=$ 9

Selling price of one pair of jeans= $ 17

Profit on three pair of jeans= $ 3(17-9)

• She bought five dresses for $29.00 each and later sold them for $41.00 each.

Cost price of one dress=$ 29

selling price of one dress= $ 41

Hence, profit on five dress is: 5(41-29)

Total Profit is given by:

Total profit=Profit on two shirt+Profit on three pair of jeans+Profit on 5 dresses.

i.e.

Total Profit= 2(9-5)+3(17-9)+5(41-29)

i.e.

Total Profit=2×4+3×8+5×12

Total Profit=8+24+60

Total Profit=$ 92
