Answer:

She received $60 for each coin.

Explanation:

  • Mrs. Fletcher bought 5 coins for $32.
  • Then, she sold them for $300.

We need to divide to know how much Mrs. Fletcher received for the coins


(\$300)/(5)=\$60

She received $60 for each coin.

Now, each coin had a cost of


(\$32)/(5)= \$6.40

So, he earned a profit of


\$60 - \$6.40=\$53.60
