Question

Fie bought 3 yards of fabric at $9.35 per' yard and thread for another $2.99

ew a quilt. If she sold her quilt at a local craft fair for $45. how much profit
she make?

Answer 1

$13.96

Explanation:

1st, we figure out how much it cost to make the quilt. The thread cost $2.99. She bought 3 yards of fabric for $9.35 per yard, so the fabric cost $9.35 x 3 = $28.05.

The quilt cost $28.05 + $2.99 = $31.04

Profit is sales price less the cost of the item. It's the money left over.

Sales price $45.00 - cost $31.04 = $13.96 is her profit
