PLEASE HELP, THANK YOU :)
Wow, who pissed you off @Anna
the second one is correct. A. 2 5/8.
the first however asks for the profit, what does James make in total after selling them.
He net purchase is $3.25.
He then sells them for 2.25 each, 2.25 * 5 = and makes 11.25.
His total money made since he spent 3.25, would be 11.25 - 3.25 which is 8.00 dollars. B.
