Question

The parents club wants to sell buttons to raise money for the local community center sports program. The buttons cost 60 cents each and the club buys 1,300 of them. How much total profit will they make If they charge $4.00 for each button and sell all of the buttons?

Answer 1

Their profit made will be 4,420

This is because 0.60 x 1300 is 780

And the amount they will make by selling is $5200, because 1300 x 4

So we will do 5200 - 780, and that is the profit made- $4,420

Answer 2

60 cents, is .60, so .60 times 1,300, is $780. 1,300 times 4 is $5200. 5200 minus 780 is $4420. That is expensive.
