Mary purchased incredients needed to cookies. a table shows the cost for each batch of 5 dozen cookies. ($10.00 total) and the price of cookies = 1/2 dozen = $5; 1 dozen = $8 and 5 dozen = $35. question is if mary sells 3 dozen cookies. what is her profit??
How many 1/2 dozen and/or 1 dozen batches did she sell. For example:
6 half-dozen = $30 - $10 = $20 profit.
3 dozon = ?
2 half-dozen and 2 dozen = ?
etcetera
At the bake sale June sold 4 times as many cookies as she sold brownies. If she sold 36 cookies,how many brownies did she sell.
To calculate Mary's profit from selling 3 dozen cookies, we need to know the cost of producing 3 dozen cookies and subtract it from the revenue generated by selling them.
First, let's determine the cost of producing 3 dozen cookies. We know that the cost for 5 dozen cookies is $10.00, so we can find the cost for 1 dozen cookies by dividing $10.00 by 5:
Cost per dozen = $10.00 / 5 = $2.00
Now, we can calculate the cost of producing 3 dozen cookies using the cost per dozen:
Cost of producing 3 dozen cookies = $2.00 * 3 = $6.00
Next, we need to determine the revenue generated by selling 3 dozen cookies. We know that the price for 1 dozen cookies is $8.00, so we can find the revenue for 3 dozen cookies by multiplying $8.00 by 3:
Revenue from selling 3 dozen cookies = $8.00 * 3 = $24.00
Finally, to calculate the profit, we subtract the cost of producing 3 dozen cookies from the revenue generated:
Profit = Revenue - Cost
Profit = $24.00 - $6.00
Profit = $18.00
Therefore, Mary's profit from selling 3 dozen cookies is $18.00.
