Question

kenny made pillows to sell at the fair. He paid $175.96 for supplies. He charged $8.75 for each pillow sold. Kenny sold 27 pillows at the fair. What was kenny's profit in dollars

Answer 1

Profit is the difference between the amount earned and the amount spent. So you multiply the number of items sold(27 pillows) by the amount they were sold for($8.75) and you get the amount earned($236.25). Then you find the difference(subtract) of the amount earned($236.25) and the amount spent($175.96) on the supplies and you come to the profit($60.29).

$8.75 × 27 = $236.25

$236.25 - $175.96 = $60.29

Answer 2

$236.25

Explanation:

MULTIPLY $8.75 AND 27
