Sold 12 bags for $2.99 each
Shopkeeper makes $1.09 profit for each bag
1.09 x 12 = 13.08

Find theFind tha amount of profit per bag by subtracting:

2.99 - 1.90 = 1.09

He made $1.09 profit per bag.

Now multiply the profit per bag by the number of bags:

1.09 x 12 = 13.08

Total profit = $13.08 amount of profit per bag by subtracting:

2.99 - 1.90 = 1.09

He made $1.09 profit per bag.

Now multiply the profit per bag by the number of bags:

1.09 x 12 = 13.08

Total profit = $13.08
