Question

A high school athletic department bought 40 soccer uniforms at a cost of $3,000. After soccer season they returned some uniforms but only recieved $40 pet uniform what was the difference between what they paid for each uniform and what they got for each return

Answer 1

Interesting problem.

First - let's figure cost of each uniform at purchase.

3,000/40 = $75 each

When some uniforms were returned at $40 - there was a difference of $35 in what they paid and what they rec'd in return. ($75 - 35 = $40)
