Question

Gavin is selling water bottles at a baseball game to help raise money for new uniforms. Before the game, he buys 48 water bottles for a total of $18.50. At the game, he sells all of the bottles for $1.25 each. How much profit does Gavin make?

$

Answer 1

$41.50

Explanation:

So we know that Gavin bought 48 water bottles before the game for $18.50. We also know that he sold the water bottles for $1.25 each.

If we want to know how much profit he made, we first have to find the amount of money he received.

To find this, we need to multiply the number of water bottles by the price for each bottle;

48 × $1.25

This gives us a total of $60.

Now to find the profit, we have to subtract the amount he paid for the water bottles by the total he made;

$60 - $18.50

This means he made a profit of $41.50.

hope this makes sense! <3
