First, find how much he paid by tire.
To do so, divide what he paid by how many tires he bought like this :
240$ / 12 = 20$ per tire
Then, calculate how much he sells each tire.
To do so, start by calculating how much he paid for 3 tires:
20$ x 3 = 60$
This is the price he sells 2 tires for, therefore :
60$ / 2 = 30$
he sells his tires 30$ each.
Finally, you have to calculate the profit he made by selling 12.
We already know how much it cost, so you need to find how much money he gets selling them :
12 tires x 30$ = 360$
To find the profit, take off the amount he paid from the amount he made :
360$ - 240$ = 120$
There you go!

Complete Question
The Henderson Hawks minor-league baseball team is giving away baseballs an
game. The balls cost $3 each and the towels cost $2 each. The team wants to give away 200 items and have 500 to spend. How many of each item should the team give away Show your
work or explain your reasoning.
Answer:
They should give away 100 balls and 100 towels
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of balls = x
Let the number of towels = y
x + y = 200........ Equation 1
y = 200 - x
$3 × x + $2 × y = $5000
3x + 2y = 5000...... Equation 2
3x + 2(200 - x)= 5000
3x + 400 - 2x = 5000
Collect like terms
3x - 2x = 500 - 400
x = 100
Number of balls to be given away = 100
Note:
y = 200 - x
y = 200 - 100
y = 100
Number of towels to be given away = 100
Therefore, they should give away 100 balls and 100 towels
