Step-by-step explanation:

1 dozen = 12 pears

12 pears = $36

1 pear = 36/12 = $3

Total Cost of Pears = No. of pears x price of 1 pear

= (5x12) x 3

= 60 x 3

= $180

Sale of Pears = Price per pear x (Total Pears bought - Rotten Pears)

= $4.50 x (5x12-7)

= $4.50 x 53

= $238.50

Profit/Loss = Sale of Pears - Total Cost of Pears

= $238.50 - $180

= $58.50

Ariana made a profit of $58.50.

Answer:

$58.5 (profit)

Step-by-step explanation:

Ariana bought 5 dozen pears at $36 per dozen.

The value of 1 dozen = $ 36

Her buying amount = $36 * 5 = $180

The value of 1 pear = $ 36/12

= $3

The value of 7 pears=  $3 * 7 = $21

She sold the remaining (53) at $4.50 each.

Her, selling amount = $4.50 * 53

= $238.50

Her profit amount = selling amount - buying amount

= $238.50 - $180

= $58.5
