Question

The six Grade is holding a fundraiser were students will make and sell peace necklaces for $1.50 each each student is responsible for selling 12 necklaces and 1/4 of the profits will be donated to earthquake in hurricane relief efforts in Puerto Rico if there are 130 six graders how much profit will the class send to Puerto Rico after they pay 45 cents of the earnings for advertisement and supplies

Answer 1

$ 584.89

Explanation:

so each student is responsible for selling 12 necklaces...and there are 130 students....so thats (130 * 12) = 1560 necklaces

each necklace is 1.50....so thats (1560 * 1.50) = 2340

profit = revenue earned - expenses

profit = 2340 - 0.45 = 2339.55

1/4 of the profit goes to Puerto Rico

1/4 * 2339.55 = 2339.55/4 = 584.887 rounds to $ 584.89 <==
