Question

A baker puts 5 cups of fruit into each pie he bakes. he pays $0.75 for 1 cup of fruit and $2.50 for the pie crust. He sells each pie for $10.25. After subtracting the cost of the fruit and pie crust, how much does he earn if he sells 10 pies?

Answer 1

Answer:

He earn $40

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we first have to calculate how much it spends to make each pie

cups of fruit = 5

5 * $0.75 = $3.75

This means that per pie he spends $ 3.75 on cups of fruit and $ 2.50 on  pie crust

If we add them together we will get how much he spends for each pie

$3.75 + $2.50 = $6.25

Now to the price that the pie sells we subtract this value to know how much you earn for each pie

$10.25 - $6.25 = $4

if he sold 10 pies we multiply this number by 10 and we will get his total profit

$4 * 10 = $40

He earn $40
