Question

Jose bought 750 bags of peanuts for 375.00. He intends to sell each bag for 0.15 more the he paid. How much should he charge for each bag

Answer 1

Charge for each bag = 0.65

Explanation:

Let the cost of 1 bag be = x

Bags Cost

750 375.00

1 x

`(750)/(1) = (375)/(x)\\\\x * 750 = 375 * 1\\\\x = (375)/(750) = 0.50`

Therefore, the amount Jose paid for each bag = 0.50

He is going to sell each bag for 0.15 more than he paid,

that is , 0.50 + 0.15 = 0.65

Answer 2

Find out how much is 1 bag of peanuts that he bought.

375.00 divided by 750 = 0.50 cents

0.50 + 0.15 = 0.65 cents

Jose should charge 0.65 cents for each bag.
