Question

The King High School Spanish Club decides to raise $500 to send a representative to the state Spanish competition by selling boxes of candy. Each box sells for $10. The profit per box is $5. What is the maximum number of boxes of candy the club needs to sell to raise the $500?

Answer 1

100 boxes.

Explanation:

Each box costs ten dollars and the profit is five dollars. If you get five dollars each time you sell a box, it would take one hundred boxes to make five hundred dollars.
