Question

a set of pencils sells for 2.15 and costs 0.45 to make. Thirty percent of the profit from each set goes to the school. if 600 sets are sold how many will go to the school

Answer 1

$306 go to the school

Explanation:

2.15*600 = 1290

0.45*600 = 270

subtract :

1290- 270 = 1020

$1020 made

1020* 30% = 1020 * 0.30

1020* 0.30 = 306

so

$306
