Question

Mrs. Cleary's class is selling candy bars to

raise money for a field trip. The students
in the class set a goal of how much
money they would like to raise.
The following formula describes this
scenario:
where
g = goal for money raised
p = profit made from each candy bar sold
n = number of candy bars sold. The class wants to raise a total of $600. If they sell 600 candy bars , how much profit will they receive from each candy bar ?

Answer 1

1

Explanation:

Assuming g(n)=pn, and plugging in

g=600 and n=600:

600=p(600)

600/600=p

1=p

profit per candy bar is $1
