Question

a school purchases boxes of candy bars. each box contains 50 candy bars. Each box costs $30. How much does the school have to charge for each candy bar to make a profit of $10 per box?

Answer 1

The school purchased the candy bars at $30/50 = 60 cents = $0.60 each

 

They want $10/50 = 20 cents = $0.20 profit.

 

So they much charge 80 cents for each candy bar, or 0.80 x 50 =  $40.
