Question

Alexandra has a stand in the marketplace where she sells ground cumin. She has a fixed amount of weekly expenses, and she sells her cumin for \$7.20$7.20 per kilogram. If she sells 9090 kilograms of cumin, her weekly net profit is \$414$414. What are Alexandra's weekly expenses?

Answer 1

Answer: $ 234

Explanation:

Given: The selling price of 1 kg cumin = $7.20

Then, the selling price of 90 kilograms of cumin =
`90*7.20=`

Thus, the selling price of 90 kilograms of cumin =
`\$648`

The net profit on selling 90 kg of cumin = $414

We know that Profit = Selling price -Expenses

⇒ Expenses=Selling price -Profit

⇒Expenses=
`\$648-\$414`

⇒Expenses
`=\$234`

Therefore, Alexandra's weekly expenses=$ 234
