How this problem is worded,  it shows that the person who created it,  does not know relevant terminology

and is unfamiliar with the way on how such problems should be formulated and presented   (probably,
never opened any  Math textbook,  and got his  (or her)  mathematical education from reading puzzles).


Simply  TERRIBLE  formulation . . .


When I see so terrible formulations at this forum,  my first and only wish is to call
to  Emergency  Medical  Service for urgent help . . .


I solved it with one single purpose - to remove it from the flow of arriving problems - - -

Below is how this problem should be presented and worded in  Math:

    A store buys items from supplier at the cost of Php 150.00 per dozen

    and then sells them separately to customers at the price of Php 18.50 per item.

    Find the profit of the store for any single item sold.
