Question

You are planning to start a birthday card business. You need to make $1200./week (over 5 days). If you can make 12 cards per hour and

you work 8.50 hours per day, what is the price you need to charge for each card? $
per card

Answer 1

Answer: $2.35

Explanation: You make 12 cards an hour and work for 8.5 hours so you would make 102 cards per day because 12x8.5=102. 102x5= 510. You would make 510 cards ever work week. 1,200 (the amount you need to make per week) ÷510(the amount of cards you make per week)= 2.35. You should sell 1 card for 2 dollars and 35 cents if you want to make around 1200 dollars per week.
