Answer: the store bought 96 containers.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of containers of yogurt that the store bought.
The grocery store bought yogurt for $2.60 per container. It means that the cost of x containers is $2.6x.
If 14 containers were ruined during the night, then the containers left is
(x - 14)
If the remaining yogurt is sold for $4.08 per container, it means that the revenue generated is
4.08(x - 14)
Profit = revenue - cost
if they made a profit of $84.96, it means that
4.08(x - 14) - 2.6x = 84.96
4.08x - 57.12 - 2.6x = 84.96
4.08x - 2.6x = 84.96 + 57.12
1.48x = 142.08
x = 142.08/1.48
x = 96
