For each greeting card Jacqui sells, she makes a profit of $0.35. In one week, she made a profit of $42. She sells the card for $0.75 each. About how much did she earn before paying expenses?

ok so she is selling the card for .75 but makes a profit of .35

.75-.35=.4 (what wasn't profit) divid 42 by .4

42/.4=105+42 (have to add in profit portion) =$147 Gross income
