Question

Meaghan started a baking service. During her first month in business, Meaghan spent $380 on supplies and drove 800 miles at an average cost of $0.30 per mile. In addition, her business phone and other expenses were $198. That month, Meaghan completed 60 jobs, earning $50 per job. What was Meaghans profit during her first month in business?

Answer 1

Answer:

$ 2,182

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Spending on supplies = $ 380,

If the distance driven is 800 miles at an average cost of $ 0.30 per mile,

So, the spending on driving = 0.30 × 800 = $ 240,

Spending on business phone and on other expenses = $ 198,

Thus, the total spending = 380 + 240 + 198 = $ 818,

∵ Meaghan completed 60 jobs, earning $50 per job,

Total revenue = 60 × 50 = $ 3000

Hence, profit = total revenue  - total spending

= 3000 - 818

= $ 2,182

Answer 2

Answer:2182 after expenses

Step-by-step explanation:0.30×800= 240 miles

60×50=3000 dollars

3000minus the miles 240 minus the supplies 380 minus the other expenses 198
