Answer 1

Shanti's total profit is calculated by subtracting the cost of ingredients from the selling price for each plate type, then multiplying by the number sold. The profit for spaghetti plates is $252.72, and the profit for steak plates is $104.31, totaling (option C) $357.03.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total profit Shanti made from selling spaghetti plates and steak plates can be calculated by finding the difference between the selling price of the plates and the cost of ingredients used to make them, multiplied by the number of plates sold.

First, for the spaghetti plates: (Selling price - Cost of ingredients) × Number sold = ($6.00 - $1.14) × 52 = $4.86 × 52 = $252.72

Next, for the steak plates: (Selling price - Cost of ingredients) × Number sold = ($9.00 - $3.51) × 19 = $5.49 × 19 = $104.31

Add both profits: $252.72 (spaghetti) + $104.31 (steak) = $357.03

The correct answer is (option C). $357.03
