Question 940064: Mark is a carpenter. He is trying to decide how much money to charge for his next job. To do the job, he will need to buy supplies that will cost $275. He will also need to rent a machine that will cost $125. He wants to charge enough to have $150 profit (money left over for himself). How much money should Mark charge for the job?
Answer by srinivas.g(540) About Me  (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
cost of supplies = $ 275
rent for machine = $ 125
Total expenditure = 275+125
= $ 400
he wants to have profit of $150
so he has to charge which $150 more than his expenditure
so charge = 400+150
= 550
Result : Money mark should charge is $ 550
