Jayla’s revenue from the sale of the items was

Jayla’s total profit was

Answer 1

First of all figure out how much money she spent on the clothing by adding all the expenses up.

1. 25 * 2, 15 * 3, 5 * 30
50 + 45 + 150 = $245

So for A. You would put $245

Second you now add up how much she sold each item for.

2.38 * 2, 26 * 3, 65 *5

76 + 78 + $325

For B you would put $325

For part C you subtract the expenses and revenue to get the profit.

3. $325 - $245 = $80

Answer 2

Jayla spent $50.00 on the blouses for 25*2. When she sells them for $38 each she made $76.00 which is $26.00 more then what she sold. She paid $45.00 for the skirts for 15*3. Later she makes $78.00 for selling them which is $33.00 more than what she paid for them. The pants cost $150.00 when she paid for them, but made $325.00 when she sold them which is $175.00 more than what she paid. All together she spent $245.00 on all the clothes she bought. Jayla made $506.00 when she sold them.
