Question

Thomas buys a case of bottled water. A case contains 36 bottles of water and costs 4.69. Thomas will sell each bottle of water for $0.75 at a school event. How much profit, in dollars, will thomas earn if he sells all the bottles of water.

Answer 1

C = 36 (C = Containers)

=> C x 0.75
=> 27 = E (E = Earned)
=> E - 4.69
=> P= 22.31 (P = Profit)

Answer 2

Well let's multiply 0.75 by 36 = 27. He will make $27. Now we will subtract : 27-4.69=22.31. He will make $23.31 out of profit.
