Question

Riley is selling each of the braided rugs she makes for $54.99 each at the craft fair. It costs $27 for the material to make 3 rugs. How many rugs should she sell to earn a profit of at least $580?

A. Riley should sell 21 rugs.
B. Riley should sell 20 rugs.
C. Riley should sell 13 rugs.
D. Riley should sell 12 rugs.

Answer 1

C. 13 rugs

Explanation:

13/3 = 4.3

4.3 x 27 = 116

54.99 x 13 = 714.87

715-116 = 599

- This is as low as you can go without going under the minimum profit of $180. Option D will get a profit of $551, but that is to low and therefore makes C. the valid answer.
