Answer:615.44
Step-by-step explanation:
15/5 = 3
Flour = 3/8 x 3 = 9/8 = 1 1/8 cups.
Chocolate chips = 1/2 x 3= 3/2 = 1 1/2 cups.
Butter = 4/5 x 3 = 12/5 = 2 2/5 cups.
Teaspoons of salt = 4/16 = 1/4 = 1/4 x 3 = 3/4
Earthworms = 1.5 = 3/2 x 3 = 9/2 = 4 1/2 cups.
50,000 / 2500 = 20....he bought them for 20 bucks a piece. So if he wants to sell them at 15% profit, he would sell them for 20 + 0.15(20) = $ 23 bucks.
A 15% profit of 50,000 dollars is 0.15(50,000) = 7500. Plus the 50 grand spent totals 57500. So they want to make a $ 7500 profit. Selling 2500 lamps at $ 23 per lamp (2500 x 23 = 57500) makes them their profit.
I should just shut up now...answer is $ 23 per lamp
