Question

Last week, Lisa sold 20 hand-engraved watch bands, earning a total profit of $105.00. She plans to make 50 engraved watch bands to sell at the community art fair. If she sells all 50 watch bands, how much profit can Lisa expect to earn?

$

Answer 1

Answer: $262.50

Explanation:

What I did was divide the $105 by 20 and got $5.25. I then multiplied $5.25 by 50 since that's how many she's going to sell and got $262.50.

Answer 2

$262.50

Explanation:

20 : 105 = 50 : x

x = (50 * 105)/20

x = (5 * 105)/2

x = 525/2

x = 262.50
