Question

On Saturday, The Toy Box offered customers a free gift with each puzzle they bought. The store sold 29 puzzles for $17 each. In all, they paid $319 for the puzzles and $60.76 for the free gifts. How much profit did The Toy Box make?

$

Answer 1

$113.24

Explanation:

29 Puzzles were sold for $17 each, therefore we do
`\$29 * \$17 = \$493`.

$493 = How much The Toy Box earned from the puzzles.

But, they paid $319 for the puzzles that they sold, therefore we do

`\$493 - \$319 = \$174`.

They also paid for the free gifts, which were $60.76

Therefore we do
`\$174 - \$60.76` which gives us an answer of $113.24

So the profit they made from this sale was:

$113.24
