Question

Miguel is working at the county fair. On​ Friday, he works at the concession stand. On​ Saturday, he works at the balloon dart booth. At the concession​ stand, Miguel sells 7 soft pretzels for every 2 candied apples. How much profit will the concession stand make if it sells 161 soft​ pretzels? Explain.

Answer 1

Answer:

$362.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Profit made per product :

Soft pretzel = $5.25 - $3.50 = $1.75

Candied apple = $3.50 - $1.75 = $1.75

For every 2 candied apple sold, 7 soft pretzel is sold :

If 161 sold pretzel is sold, the number of candied apple sold will be :

(161 / 7) * 2

23 *. 2 = 46 candied apple was sold

Profit made on product sold :

Soft pretzel = $1.75 * 161 = $281.75

Candied apple = $1.75 * 46 = $80.5

$(80.5 + 281.75) = $362.25
