Question

A store owner purchased 70 soccer balls for $24.50 each. The store owne sold 40 of the soccer balls for $39.75 each. The remainder of the soccer balls were sold for $29.50 each. How much profit did the store owner earn?​

Answer 1

The stores profit was $757

Explanation:

70 x 24.50=1715

they spent 1715 on 70 soccer balls.

They sold 40 of the soccer balls for 39.75 each.

so 40 x 39.75=1590

Then the the remainder of the soccer balls would be 30 since they only started with 70

so they sold 30 soccer balls for 29.50 each.

30 x 29.50= 882

So add 882+1590=2472

then take that number and subtract it from 1715

2472-1715=757 So in profit they made $757 dollars.
