Answer 1

Answer:

$ 584.89

Step-by-step explanation:

so each student is responsible for selling 12 necklaces...and there are 130 students....so thats (130 * 12) = 1560 necklaces

each necklace is 1.50....so thats (1560 * 1.50) = 2340

profit = revenue earned - expenses

profit = 2340 - 0.45 = 2339.55

1/4 of the profit goes to Puerto Rico

1/4 * 2339.55 = 2339.55/4 = 584.887 rounds to $ 584.89 <==
