Question

Lucas bought six packs of 25 pens each for four dollars per pack and sold each pen for $.25 how much was his profit?

Answer 1

$13.50

Explanation:

To find Lucas's profit, subtract the cost from his total gain.

Lucas bought 6 packs for $4 each.

6 * $4 = $24

His cost is $24.

In each of the 6 packs, there were 25 pens.

6 * 25 = 150 total pens

Lucas sold each pen for $0.25

150 * $0.25 = $37.50

$37.50 - $24 = $13.50
