Answer:
Each apron costs $ 12.75, and to make a profit of $ 1.75 they should be sold for $ 14.50.
Explanation:
Since the fifth grade craft club is making aprons to sell, and each apron take 1.25 yards of fabric that costs $ 3 per yard and 4.5 yards of trim that costs $ 2 per yard, to determine what does it cost the club to make one apron, and, if the club wants to make $ 1.75 profit on each apron, how much should they charge per apron, the following calculations must be performed:
1 apron = 1.25 yards of fabric at $ 3 per yard and 4.5 yards of trim at $ 2 per yard
1.25 x 3 + 4.5 x 2 = X
3.75 + 9 = X
12.75 = X
12.75 + 1.75 = 14.50
Therefore, each apron costs $ 12.75, and to make a profit of $ 1.75 they should be sold for $ 14.50.
