Question

Answer 1

The profit made on each pie is $8.

Explanation:

Total number of pies sold at festival = 85

The selling price of each pie = $12

The cost price of total pies = $340

Now, the Total selling price= Number of pies x Selling Price of each Pie

= 85 x $12 = $1020

Hence, the Total Selling Price = $1020

Total Profit on the Pies = Selling Price - Cost Price

= $1020 - $340 = $ 680

or, The selling profit on 85 pies is $680.

Hence, the profit on each pie =
`(680)/(85)  = 8`

Hence, the profit made on each pie is $8.
