Question

You invest $230 to start a sandwich stand and decide to charge $4.25 per sandwich. How much money will you make if you sell 75 sandwiches?

Answer 1

You should do 4.25*75= 318.75
So you'll make $318.75

Answer 2

We have been given that the cost to start the sandwich stand is $230.

Now, the cost of one sandwich is given by $4.25

Also, it has been given that total 75 sandwiches sold.

Thus, the cost of 75 sandwiches is given by

`75 * 4.25\\ \$ 318.75`

Now, the sandwich stand cost $230 and the earning in selling of 75 sandwiches is $ 318.75.

Therefore, the profit is given by

`318.75-230 =\$88.75`

Hence, I can make $88.75 on selling of 75 sandwiches.
