Step 1: Find the cost of 1 pie
1 pie = 4 cups of fruit + 1 pie crust
1 pie = 4(0.75) + 1(2.50)
1 pie = 3 + 2.50
1 pie = 5.50
Step 2: Find the amount of money a baker makes by selling 1 pie
1 pie cost = 5.50
1 pie revenue = 10.25
1 pie profit = 4.75
Step 3: Find the amount of money a baker makes by selling 10 pies
1 pie profit = 4.75
10 pies profit = 47.5
Answer: $47.50
