Question

A store owner makes a profit of $54 when he sells 9 jackets.How many jackets should he sell to make a profit of $270? jackets

Answer 1

First you have to find the cost of each jacket.
54/9=6 Each jacket cost $6
Then you get the total profit and divide that by the cost of each jacket.
270/6=45 (45 jackets)
Multiply 45 jackets by the cost ($6)
45*6=$270. 
The answer is 45.
