Question

Blake sold 17 vases for $3.25 each. He spent $16.21 on materials to make the vases. What was his profit?$13.75$39.04$55.25$12.96

Answer 1

17 vases x $3.25 = $55.25 - $16.21 on materials = Profit of $39.04

Answer 2

To find the profit he made, find the product of the number of vases he sold and their price.

`S=17\cdot3.25=55.25`

Now, substract the amount he spent to make the vases to the total in sales to find his profit:

`P=55.25-16.21=39.04`

His profit was $39.04
