Question

If Mr. Jones buys paddles for $35 instead of $50 and uses the same percent increase on price how many paddles most Mr. Jones sell for the total paddle sales before tax and to be at least $250 explain your answer

Answer 1

Answer: 4 paddles

Explanation:

Mr. Jones buys the paddle for $35 and sells at 180% of the purchase price:

= 35 * 180/100

= $63

For the number of paddle sales to be at least $250, he should sell:

= 250/63

= 3.97

= 4 paddles
