Question

Chloe makes flapjacks.

A pack of flapjacks costs Chloe 60p to make.
She sells the flapjacks for a profit of 30%.
For how much does Chloe sell a pack of flapjacks?

Answer 1

Chloe makes $18 a pack.

(30/100)*60 = (30*60)/100 = 18

Answer 2

Answer: 78p

Explanation:

If she sells them with a profit of 30%, this means she is getting 30% more than they cost to make. They cost 60p, so we will set up an equation. Don't forget that a percent divided by 100 becomes a decimal.

60p * 130% = 60p * 1.3 = 78p
