The local ice cream parlor bought 100 half gallons of gelato for $2.40 per half gallon and stored it in two freezers . One freezer broke, ruining 14 half gallons. If the remaining gelato is sold for $3.96 per half gallon, how much profit will the parlor make? Remember to include a dollar sign in your answer .

Answer 1

The profit is $100.56

Explanation:

The total cost for the ice cream was 100 * 2.40 = 240

14 1/2 gallons were ruined so there were 100 -14 = 86 half gallons left

They sold these at 3.96 each

86 * 3.96 =340.56

The profit is the money made minus the cost

340.56-240 = 100.56

The profit is $100.56
