Question

A store buys 19 sweaters for $190 and sells them for $532. How much profit does the store make per sweater?

Answer 1

8$ profit per sweater

Explanation:

532 - 190 = 342

342 = total price profit

342 / 19 = 18

each sweater costs 18 dollars

they bought all for 190

190 / 19 = 10

each sweater costed 10$ to the store

18 - 10 = 8

Answer 2

profit is $18 per sweater

Explanation:

if a store buys 19 sweaters for $190 then they are paying $10 per sweater

if a store sells 19 sweaters for $532 they they are receiving $28 per sweater

Since they must pay $10 per sweater then their profit is $18 per sweater

($28-$10)
