You sell candy bars for a fundraiser. Each box contains 50 bars and costs $30. If you want to make $45 profit for each box, how much should you sell each bar for?
A. $1.00 B. S1.25 C. $1.50 D. S2.00
30*50 = 1500
15 dollars is the cost of the box, you have to sell it for 60 dollars to make a 45 dollar profit.
60/50 = 1.25
=^._.^=
We need to sell 30 + 45 = $75 dollars worth
So
Sales - Expenses = Profit
50P - 30 = 45 where P is the price per bar
50P = 45 + 30
50P = 75
P = 75/50 = 1.5 dollars = $1.50 per bar
