Question

The grocery store makes a 32% profit on deli foods. The profit for the

deli last month was $640. What was the total sales for the deli last
month?

Answer 1

$2000

Explanation:

The profit is the money earned by the store, meaning in this case, it's 32%. 32 percent of an amount is equal to 640. Set up an equation: 0.32(x) = 640, where x is the total money earned including the profit. x is solved to be 2000 dollars.
