Question

A local talent is selling underground CD’s to get his rap career off the ground.

Answer 1

Answer:

He should sell his CD's for $2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Each crate contains 60 blank CD’s and each crate cost $35.

This means that he will pay $35 for 60 CD's.

How much should he sell his CD’s to make a profit of $85?

He will sell each of the 60 CD's for x, which means that his earnings will be of 60x.

Profit: Earnings - Cost = 60x - 35

To make a profit of $85

$60x - 35 = 85$

$60x = 120$

$x = \frac{120}{60}$

$x = 2$

He should sell his CD's for $2.
