Darryl has a daily goal of earning $100 in profit. His profit is $0.72 per sandwich, and he sold 150 sandwiches today. Explain how Darryl can use the profit rate to determine how much profit he earned. Did Darryl meet his daily goal?

Answer 1

Multiply the profit per sandwich times the number of sandwiches sold for the day. The profit for the day is higher than his goal.

Answer 2

Given : Darryl has a daily goal of earning $100 in profit. His profit is $0.72 per sandwich. Number of sandwiches sold by Darryl to have a profit of $100 is

100 ÷ 0.72= 138.9

Darryl meet his daily goal .
