marmalade costs £2 a jar, she makes 250 jars and sells 60% of them for £4 and the rest at half price. how much profit does she make

Question

the unit of the answer must be given in pounds if that is possible.

Answer 1

Cost:  2(250) = £500 

 

Revenue:

60% of 250 = 0.6(250) = 150 jars sold at 4

4(150) = £600

 

Assming you mean 2 poinds as half price then

she sold 100 at 2

2(100) = £200

 

Total revenue:  600 + 200 = £800

 

Profit = revenue - cost = 800-500 = £300
