the owner of a pet shop buys budgie bells in packs of 30 bells. she pays 12p per bell. She sells 3/5 of the bells for 50p each and the rest for 40p each. How much profit does she make on the whole pack of budgie bells?

Respuesta :

Answer: 1020p

Step-by-step explanation:

The total cost of the bells will be:

= 12p × 30 = 360p

She sells 3/5 of the bells for 50p each. This will be:

= (3/5 × 30) × 50

= 18 × 50p

= 900p

She sells the remaining 2/5 for 40p each. This will be:

= (2/5 × 30) × 40

= 12 × 40

= 480p

Then, total revenue will be:

= 900p + 480p

= 1380p

Profit = Revenue - Cost

= 1380p - 360p

= 1020p
