A) Your organization gets half of the revenue after 30% is deducted. You get ...
(1/2)×($3 - 0.30×$3) = (1/2)×$3×0.70 = $1.05 for each box of cookies
B) If the number you must sell to earn $100 is represented by n, then you have
$1.05×n = $100
n = 100/1.05 ≈ 95.24
To earn $100 for your local chapter, you must sell 96 boxes of cookies.
The statement is true, but the inverse is false.
Half, meaning cut it by 1/2 of it's original value.
To cut it in half, we need to divide 27 by 2 to get the answer 13.5.
This makes sense because 14 + 14 = 28, and 13.5 + 13.5 = 27.
