Explanation:
If John needs to ensure a 40% profit, John needs to sell the pines at a price that would give 40% more money back than he spent.
Since John needs to make back all of the money he spent, plus another 40%, John needs to get back 140% of what he spent.
![140\% = 1.40](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=140%5C%25%20%3D%201.40)
John spent $3500.
140% of $3500 is $4900.
So, John must bring in $4900 (revenue) selling all 15 pines to achieve a 40% profit.
However, the question asks for the price of a single pine. To find the unit price of a single pine, divide the total revenue by 15.
![\frac{\$4900}{15pines}=\frac{\$326.\bar{6}}{pine}=\$326.66 \text{ per pine}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B%5C%244900%7D%7B15pines%7D%3D%5Cfrac%7B%5C%24326.%5Cbar%7B6%7D%7D%7Bpine%7D%3D%5C%24326.66%20%5Ctext%7B%20per%20pine%7D)
