Answer:

Answer:

Company C has the lowes cost per tiger at $2.74. (Divide the prices by the number of stuffed animals, in this case, $41.10/15)

$2.26 would be their profit.

Explanation:

To find how much money they have to pay for each stuffed animal, you have to divide the prices by the number that would be sold. For example, for Company C, it would be $41.10 divided by 15. When you do that with all the companies, you'll find the Company C is the cheapest.

You find their profit by subtracting $2.74 from $5. They sell it for $5, but they did have to use $2.74 to buy the stuffed animals. $5 - $2.74 = $2.26

Hope this helps! ^-^
