Ben is making wooden toys for $1.80
He sells the toys for $3.00 each,
So profit on each toy = 3.0 - 1.8=1.2
For 1.2 profit he has to make 1 toy
So to make a profit of exactly $36.00 he has to mae 36/1.2= 30 Toys
..

profit from selling one toy =$(3.00-1.80)=$(1.20)
he profits $1.2 by selling one toy
therefore $36 by selling 36/1.2=30 toys
