Question

A woman bought 210 oranges for $6.50. She sold all of them at 3 for 20cents. How much profit did she make?

Answer 1

Divide total bought by 3 and multiply by 20cents:

210/3 = 70

70 x 0.20 = $14.00

Subtract the amount they paid by the amount they made:

14.00 - 6.50 = $7.50

The profit made was: $7.50
