Question

Ms. Cortez was building doll houses to sell at a toy store. She had to spend $184 on tools before she could begin to work. Each doll house cast $17 to make. She planned to sell the doll houses for $29 each. How many doll houses did she need to sell to make a profit?

​

Answer 1

A minimum of 16 dollhouses

Explanation:

profit on each dollhouse= sp-cp= 29-17= $12

if we divide 184 by 12 we get abt 15.33, which means, she has to sell more than 15 Dollhouses to make a profit.

so the minimum number of dollhouses to be sold are 16
