Ben is making wooden toys for the next art and crafts sale. Each toy costs Ben $1.80 to make. If he sells the toys for $3.00 each, how many will he sell to make a profit of exactly $36.00?
-----------------------
His profit on one toy = 3.00 - 180 = 1.20
-------------------------
Let x be the number of toys he needs to make to earn $3600.
1.20x = 36.00
x = 30 toys
