Answer:

they make $19 dollars in profit per sweater

Step-by-step explanation

154/11 is 14. This means that they paid $14 dollars per sweater.

363/11 is 33, meaning that they sold each sweater for $33.

$33 - $14 is $19, thus they made $19 dollars per sweater.

(I could be wrong, though. I tend to make dumb and simple mistakes of simple math, lol)

Answer:

19

Explanation:

First Find the difference of the two amounts.

Profit = Sale - Cost

Profit = 363 - 154

Gross Profit = 209

Each sweater sold brings in a profit of 209 / 11 = 19 dollars
