Question

Please Help. I need the answer for this question.

Answer 1

Answer:

$0.20

Step-by-step explanation:

If the purchased is $100 for 250 pastries, then 1 ipastry at purchase is:

$100=250

    ?  = 1

1×100/250 = $0.40 ( at purchase)

Then when resold, the profit is:

if 250 pastries= $150

1 pastry=?

$150× 1/ 250= $0.60

s0, the profit will be $0.60 - $0.40 = $0.20

Answer 2

Answer: Choice A) $0.20

=======================================================

Explanation:

The store bought the batch for $100, and sold that same batch for $150. The profit of the entire batch is 150-100 = 50 dollars.

Divide this over 250 to get 50/250 = 0.20 dollars.

Their profit is $0.20 per pastry (ie 20 cents per pastry).

-------

You can think of it like this

50 dollar profit = 250 pastries

50/250 dollar profit = 250/250 pastries (dividing both sides by 250)

0.20 dollar profit = 1 pastry

That last equation tells us one pastry yields a profit of $0.20 or 20 cents.
