A girl's club is selling hats to raise money. They ordered 500 hats that cost$5.15 each. They will sell the hats for $18.50 each. All the hats were sold. How do you find the amount of money the club made after expenses?

(500 * 18.5) - (500 * 5.15) = ?

To find the amount of money the club made after expenses, we need to calculate the total cost of purchasing the hats and the total revenue earned from selling them.

First, let's calculate the total cost of purchasing the hats. The club ordered 500 hats at a cost of $5.15 each. To find the total cost, we can multiply the cost of each hat by the number of hats:

Total cost = 500 hats * $5.15/hat

Now, let's calculate the total revenue earned from selling the hats. The hats were sold for $18.50 each, and all the hats were sold. To find the total revenue, we can multiply the selling price of each hat by the number of hats:

Total revenue = 500 hats * $18.50/hat

Finally, to find the amount of money the club made after expenses, we need to subtract the total cost from the total revenue:

Profit = Total revenue - Total cost

By substituting the values we calculated earlier, we can find the answer.
