Answer 1

Option B

Profit earned in the entire month is $ 31486

Solution:

Given that At the start of the month, Jodie had sold 885 copies of her new book

At the end of the month, she had sold 1,364 copies of her book

Each book profits $13.97, approximately

To find: profit earned in entire month

Total books earned = 885 + 1364 = 2249

Profit earned from 1 book = $ 13.97 ≈ 14

Therefore profit earned from 2249 books is found by multiplying profit earned from 1 book by 2249

profit earned from 2249 books = Profit earned from 1 book x 2249

profit earned from 2249 books = 14 x 2249 = 31486

Therefore profit earned in the entire month is $ 31486
