A flower shop owner pays her only assistance $8 per hour for every hour that the flower shop is open.
All other expenses for running the flower shop are $240 per day, and the flower shop is open for 8 hours each day.

If the flower shop sells $530 worth of items on Friday, how much was the flower shop’s profit for that day? (Profit = Income – Expenses)



A. $220

B. $226

C. $290

D. $466

E. $540

Answer 1

Explanation:

The lady gets paid $8 per hour that the shop is opened, so multiply the pay rate ($8) by the amount of hours the shop is opened
$8 * 8 = $64

Now add the $64 onto the expense of running the shop

$64 + $240 = $304

Now take that amount away from Friday's sales

$530 - $304 = $ 226

Profit($226) = Income($530) - Expenses($304)

$226 = $226
