Answer 1

I think the answer is B.Westside-$2011.82

Answer 2

Answer:

Option b. Westside = $2011.82

Step-by-step explanation:

Sales of pencil sets for each store are shown in the table :

Pencil sets             Westside Branch sales           Downtown Branch sales

Watercolor                         132                                          74

Pastel pencil                       56                                           48

Charcoal pencil                  119                                          126

Now we will make a table for the profit of each branch for each pencil set by dividing the sales of pencil sets by its profit.

Pencil sets             Westside Branch profit           Downtown Branch profit

Watercolor                         1,115.40                                      625.30

Pastel pencil                       346.64                                       297.12

Charcoal pencil                 549.78                                        582.12

Total profit                           2011.82                                      1504.54

Therefore, we can clearly see The profit of Westside branch is $2011.82 which is more than the profit of downtown branch profit.

So Option b. Westside = $2011.82 is the correct answer.
