Question

Tony's club is selling oranges to raise money for every box they sell they get 1 1/8 dollars profit they have sold 75 boxes already how many more boxes my stay sell to raise $180

Answer 1

Tony needs to sell 85 more boxes to raise a profit of $180.

Explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Profit per box =

`1(1)/(8)\text{ dollars}`

Number of boxes sold = 75

Profit earned on 75 boxes =

`75* 1(1)/(8)\\\\=\$84.375`

Total profit to be raised = $180

Amount of profit left to be earned =

`=180 - 84.375\\=\$95.625`

Number of boxes to be sold to earn a profit of $95.625 =

`=(95.625)/((9)/(8))\\\\=95.625* (8)/(9)\\\\=85`

Thus, Tony needs to sell 85 more boxes to raise a profit of $180.
