Question

A high school athletic department bought 40 soccer uniforms at cost $3,000 . After soccer season, they returned some of the uniforms but only received $40 per uniform. What was the difference between what they paid for each uniform and what they got for each return?

Answer 1

to start, you divide 3000 by 40 to find out how much each uniform cost.

3000 ÷ 40 = 75

each uniform cost $75

then you subtract 40 (what they got back for each uniform) from 75.

75 - 40 = 35

the difference is $35 dollars.
