The computers are then sold, with the free monitor and free scanner, for $1,196.91 each. Approximately how much profit will the company make if 408 customers take advantage of their special? (Round to the nearest 50 dollars.) A. $300,000.00 B. $550,000.00 C. $240,000.00 D. $380,000.00

Answer 1

C, $ 240,000.00

Explanation:

Company cost: 393.29 + 151.44 + 46.39 = 591.12

Profit each computer: 1196.91 - 591.12 = 605.79

408 customers: 605.79 x 408 = 247162 ≈ 240000
