Answer 1

Part 1) Each sandwich costs $.02 per cubic inch to make. What is the cost of each sandwich?

volume for cube sandwich is 125 in³
volume for pyramid sandwich is 41.67 in³

cost of each cube sandwich=0.02*125-----> $2.5

cost of each pyramid sandwich=0.02*41.67-----> $0.83

the answers Part 1) are
a) cost of each cube sandwich is $2.5
b) cost of each pyramid sandwich is $0.83

Part 2) If each sandwich sells for $4.00 and Mr. Sammie sells 100 Cube sandwiches and 100 Pyramid Sandwiches, how much profit would Mr. Sammie make?

we know that
Profit=Sells-Costs

step 1
find the sells
Sells=200*$4-----> $800

step 2
find the costs
Costs=100*$2.5+100*$0.83----> $333

step 3
find the profit
Profit=Sells-Costs
Profit=$800-$333-----> $467

the answer Part 2) is
the profit is $467
