I’m a bit confused as to how many boxes come with the T-shirt’s, and because each T-shirt is $10.00 then it will be $80.00? But $125.00 minus $80.00 is $45.00...I’m confused. Please help!

SCHOOL'S COST
The school's cost for the box of 25 shirts is $125, so each shirt costs the school $5 each.

$125/25 shirts per box= $5 per shirt

If 8 shirts are sold, it costs the school 8 times $5 a shirt. Everything above $5 per shirt is profit.

8 shirts * $5 per shirt school cost= $40 school cost for 8 shirts


SELLING PRICE
The students are selling the shirts for $10 each. One student sold 8 shirts for $10 each.

8 shirts * $10 each selling price= $80


FIND DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SELLING PRICE & SCHOOL COST

$80 selling price - $40 school cost= $40 profit


ANSWER: C) $40 profit

Hope this helps! :)
