Thomas buys a case of bottled water. a case cointains 36 bottles of water and costs $4.69. Thomas will sell each bottle of water for $0.79 at a school event. How much profit in dollars will thomas earn if he sells all the bottles of water?

Answer 1

We want to know how the difference between $4.69 and ($0.79/bottle*36 bottles). We know that $0.79*36= $28.44.

The difference between $28.44 and $4.69 is $23.75.

Therefore Thomas profits $23.75.
