Bob is making mini fondant cakes for next bake sale each cake costs bob $1.80 to make if he sells the cakes for $3.00 each how many will he have to sell to make a profit of exactly $36.00 please help me answer

Answer 1

Bob will have to make 12 cakes. 36.00 ÷ 3 = 12.
12×3=36

Answer 2

he would have to sell 30 cakes

Explanation:

if you take the amount it actually cost to make it and the amount he is selling them for you would first do

1.80 - 3.00 = 1.20$

after you get 1 dollar and 20 cents you would divide it by 36 dollars to get 30

to check your answer do 30 x 1.20 = 36.00
