for the club were: first course $44640, main course $59520, dessert
42 800, drinks $31600.
Work out the cost of the dinner per head.
Members were charged $2995 a head. Did the club make a profit
Justify your answer.
​

Answer 1

They made a profit of 7,130 dollars.

Explanation:

So since they were charged 2995 a head then all youd have to do is multiply that by the number of people.

2,995 x 62 = 185, 690

Then add the total of the food.

44,640 + 59,520 + 42,800 + 31600 = 178,560

Then subtract their income from the money they spent.

185,690 - 178, 560 = 7,130
