Question

For every $2 Alice spent on materials, she could make 5 coasters. She made 60 coasters and sold them at the York Beach Fair, charging $5 for 2 coasters. What was her profit?


Please share your strategy and show you work along with explaining your work.

Answer 1

$2 = 5 coasters

x = 60 coasters

60 / 5 = 12

12 x $2 = $24

$24 = 60 coasters



$5 = 2 coasters

60 / 2 = 30

30 x $5 = $150



$150 - $24 = $126

$126 in profit
