Question 324581
Ben is making wooden toys for the next arts and crafts sale. Each toy costs 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 ?
-----
Profit = Revenue - Cost
-----
Let # of toys made be "x"
Cost = 1.8x dollars
Revenue = 3x
-----
Profit = 3x-1.8x = 36 dollars
1.2x = 36
x = 30 (# of toys he will have to make to have $36 profit)
