Answer 1

Part 1) One apron cost to the club $12.75

Part 2) The charge per apron should be $14.5

Explanation:

step 1

Find out the cost to the club to make one apron

The cost is equal to the yards of fabric needed multiplied by $3 per yard plus the yards of trim needed multiplied by $2 per yard

so

`1.25(3)+4.5(2)=\$12.75`

therefore

One apron cost to the club $12.75

step 2

If the club wants to make $1.75 profit fir each apron, how much should they charge per apron?

we know that

The charge per apron must be equal to the cost of one apron plus the profit

so

`\$12.75+\$1.75=\$14.5`

therefore

The charge per apron should be $14.5
