Question

Carol posts her product on Facebook; it sells for $15. If 5 percent of her 25,000 friends decide to purchase it, how much will Carol make?

Answer 1

18,750....................

Answer 2

Answer:

$18,750

Step-by-step explanation:

First we find the number of people that purchase her product.

5% = 5/100 = 0.05; this means we multiply 0.05 by 25000:

0.05(25000) = 1250

1250 people purchase Carol's product.

Her product sells for $15; this means she makes 15(1250) = $18,750
