Question 1167347
.
You started a business making sculptures that sell for 14.50 each. 
It cost you $.75 to make each sculpture. It takes you two hours to make a sculpture. 
You receive 50% {{{highlight(cross(off))}}} {{{highlight(highlight(of))}}} the selling price from the store selling the sculptures. 
She spends 14 hours a week making sculptures how many weeks will it take you 
to earn a profit of $360
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


<pre>
Let 'w' be the number of weeks.


From the problem, you have this equation for your profit

    {{{((14.50/2)-0.75)*(14/2)*w}}}  = 360  dollars.


Simplify it

    (7.25-0.75)*7*w = 360

     6.5*7*w = 360.


Express and find w

    w = {{{360/(6.5*7)}}} = 7.912087912  weeks.


You may round this value, if you need/want.
