Question

a company makes 2,500 profit on the sale of 20 products, what is the profit when the company sells 300 products

Answer 1

Assuming that the profit is the same for each sale, the amount they make is 37,500

Explanation:

In order to find this, we set up a proportion using those numbers.

2500/20 = x/300 ----> Cross multiply

20*x = 2500*300 ----> Multiply

20x = 750,000 ----> Divide by 20

x = 37,500

Answer 2

$37,500 profit

To solve this, find the unit rate by dividing 2500 by 20. This will get you an average of $125 profit made per product sold. Then multiply that by 300 (the number of products sold in total) to get your answer of $37,500 profit total.
