Question

A store buys 14 sweaters for $84 and sells them for $504. How much profit does the store make per sweater?

Answer 1

Hello Julio,

To find the profit per sweater: You could find the TOTAL profit, then divide it by the number of sweaters.

Total profit = total sales - total cost = 504 - 84 = 420

Divide total profit by number of sweaters: 420/14 = 30

The store makes $30 per sweater
