Question 640514
A great problem dealing with profit margin. We know they purchased the ice cream at $2.60 and resold them at $3.98 creating a profit margin of $1.38/unit. To find the total that they sold during the day divide the profit margin divided by the profit made, $64.20/$1.38 or 46.52 or round up for 47. Add the addition 15 that were ruined to get 61 or 62 half gallons of ice cream.
