Dana's total profit.
Part B: What was Dana's total profit?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

profit for shirts = sale - buying price

$9×2 - $5 ×2 = profit

$18 - $10 = profit

profit₁ =P₁= $8

profit for jeans

sale - buying price= profit

$17×3 - $9×3 = profit

$51 - $27 = profit

profit₂=P₂= $24

profit for dresses

$41×5 - $29×5 = profit

$205 - $145 = profit

profit = $205-$145

profit₃ =P₃= $60

Part A.

P₁ + P₂ + P₃ = $8 +$24 + $60

Part B.

Total profit= $92

Answer:

Dana bought two shirts for $5.00 each and later sold them for $9.00 each.

Profit earned = [tex]2(9-5)[/tex] dollars

She bought three pairs of jeans for $9.00 each and later sold them for $17.00 each.

Profit earned = [tex]3(17-9)[/tex] dollars

She bought five dresses for $29.00 each and later sold them for $41.00 each.

Profit earned = [tex]5(41-29)[/tex] dollars

Part A:

Dana's total profit is represented by:

[tex]2(9-5)+3(17-9)+5(41-29)[/tex]

Part B:

Dana's total profit was:

[tex]2(9-5)+3(17-9)+5(41-29)[/tex]

=> [tex]2(4)+3(8)+5(12)[/tex]

=> [tex]8+24+60[/tex]

= $92
