Question 225184: Ben is making wooden toys for the next arts and crafts sale. Each toy cost Ben $1.80 to make. if he sells the toys for $3.00 each, how many will he have to sell to make a profit of exactly $36.00?

THe equation we need to set up is:
3x-1.8x=36
Combine like terms:
1.2x=36
Divide both sides by 1.2:
x=30
So, he needs to sell 30 toys before he makes $36.00. I hope it doesn't take him long to make these things, because that seems to be a pretty awful profit.
