You can get the total revenue you generate by selling 47 candy bars at $1.55 each simply by multiplying 47 times 1.55. But that is not what the question asked. The question asks how much money will you be raising for the club, in other words, the profit you make. To calculate that you would have to take the revenue that you calculated and subtract the amount that you had to pay the candy company and then subtract the taxes that would be owed on that amount of revenue. Since you provided neither of those data elements, your question cannot be answered as posed.
