Question

Over the summer, Kathleen sold 1902 jars of jam outdoor markets. She made it 12 dollar profit on each one, she wants to use the profits to buy the ivory 5 k piano, she said, since 1000 times 12 equals 12000 in 1009, d 2 is greater than 1000, I know my profits add up to more than 12000 so I can buy the piano.

Answer 1

Kathleen's total profit from selling 1902 jars of jam at $12 profit each is $22,824, which is more than enough to purchase the ivory 5k piano if it costs $12,000.

Step-by-step explanation:

Profit Calculation for Kathleen's Jam Sales

Kathleen sold 1902 jars of jam and made a $12 profit on each one. To calculate her total profit, we multiply the number of jars sold by the profit per jar: 1902 jars × $12/jar. This gives a total profit of $22,824. Since Kathleen wants to use this profit to purchase an ivory 5k piano, and she has correctly observed that since her profits are greater than $12,000, she can indeed buy the piano, presuming it costs $12,000 as in her calculation, or even if it costs exactly $22,824, as she has sufficient funds.
