Bobby and Marie are running a lemonade stand.They spend $12 on all their materials and charge $1.50 for each cup of lemonade. If they sell 20 cups of lemonade, how much money would they make(or lose)?

$30 is how much they made in total, 30-12= $18 which is their profit.

Answer:

$18

Explanation:

First you would multiply $1.50 by how many cups of lemonade they sell (20). Your answer for this would be $30. After that you want to subtract the $12 from the $30, because they spent $12 on materials. Then you get $18, which is your answer. Hope this helps :)
