Question

A clothing store is running a special in which customers receive a free pair of jeans with the purchase of 4 shirts. It costs the clothing company $3.46 to produce one shirt and $5.56 to produce one pair of jeans. The store is selling each shirt for $21.46. Approximately how much money will the company make if 42 customers take advantage of the special?

Answer 1

If one shirt equals to $21.46, and you need to purchase 4 shirts to get the free pair of jeans, you multiply 4 by 21.46 and get 85.84. But if there is 42 customers taking advantage of the special, then you need to multiply 85.84 by 42, and you get 3,605.28.
