Answer:

$126.00

Explanation:

The Hershey bars were purchased for $6 per dozen. There are 12 bars per dozen. First, find the cost per bar.

cost / bar

$6 / 12 bars

$0.50 / bar

Next, find the profit on one bar. The bars costs $0.50 each and are being sold for $1.25. The profit will be the difference between the two numbers.

$1.25 - $0.50

$0.75

Finally, find the profit on 14 dozen bars.

There are 168 bars in 14 dozen. ( 12 per dozen, 14 dozen, 12*14= 168).

Multiply the profit of one bar ($0.75) by 168.

168 *$ 0.75

$126

The profit on 14 dozen Hershey bars is $126.00
