Question

Corey and Braden spent $4.75 on supplies for their hot chocolate shop. On the day of their hot chocolate sale, they sold 8 small cups of hot chocolate for $1.75 each, 13 large cups of hot chocolate at $2.00 each, and 12 mini candy canes for $0.25 each. Corey and Braden split their profit in three – a third for Corey, a third for Braden, and a third for Corey and Braden to invest in their hot chocolate shop.

How much money did they make on all three items them sold before any deductions?

Answer 1

$43

Explanation:

Multiply 1.75 and 8 which equals 14

2.00 times 13 is 26

.25 times 12 is 3

Add 'em all up and you get $43(before dividing them up in thirds)

If you divide them by 3 each third is 14.33 repeating.
