Answer 1

Total revenue earned by Jehle is $234

Explanation:

• Step 1:

Calculate profit earned by Jehle by selling the 2 blouses.

⇒ Cost price of 2 blouses = 2 × 25 = $50

⇒ Selling price of 2 blouses = 2 × 38 = $76

⇒ Profit earned = SP - CP = 76 - 50 = $26

• Step 2:

Calculate profit earned by Jehle by selling the 3 skirts.

⇒ Cost price of 3 skirts = 3 × 15 = $45

⇒ Selling price of 3 skirts = 3 × 26 = $78

⇒ Profit earned = SP - CP = $33

• Step 3:

Calculate the profit earned by Jehle by selling 5 pants.

⇒ Cost price of 5 pairs of pants = 5 × 30 = $150

⇒ Selling price of 5 pairs of pants = 5 × 65 = $325

⇒ Profit earned = SP - CP = $175

• Step 4:

Calculate the total revenue earned by summing up all the profits

⇒ 26 + 33 + 175 = $234
