Answer:
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
