Answer 1

C

Explanation:

177 per 59 hamburgers means

177/59 = $3 profit per hamburger

In a day they sell 118 to 236, so daily profit:

• if 118, 3 * 118 = 354
• if 236, 3 * 236 = 708

Assuming 365 operational days in a year, yearly profit would be:

• if 118 per day, 354 * 365 = 129,210
• if 236 per day, 708 * 365 = 258,420

From the answer choices, C is between these 2, so C is the correct answer.
