Question

Ron made 3 pitchers of lemonade sell at a lemonade stand. The cost of making the lemonade is 50 cents per pitcher of lemonade.

He sold each cup of lemonade for 15 cents, and he sold a total of 36 cups of lemonade.

How much money did Ron make selling lemonade after paying out the cost of making the lemonade?

Answer 1

Explanation:

cost = 3 pitchers × $0.50/pitcher = $1.50

revenue = 36 cups × $0.15/cup = $5.40

profit = $5.40 - $1.50 = $3.90
