In order to make more profit, they purchase candies in a large bag that they will soar into 0.75 pound bags of candy they were able to find large bags of candy that contain 18.8 pounds of candy if they are selling the small bags of candy for $1.50 how much can they make from each large bag round to the nearest whole bag of candy in the nearest cent
To find out how many 0.75 pound bags can be made from a large bag containing 18.8 pounds of candy, divide 18.8 by 0.75:
18.8 / 0.75 = 25.07
Since we need to round to the nearest whole bag, we can make 25 small bags of candy from each large bag.
To calculate how much they can make from each large bag, multiply the number of small bags by the price of each bag:
25 x $1.50 = $<<25*1.5=37.5>>37.50
Therefore, they can make $37.50 from each large bag of candy.
To calculate the profit from each large bag of candy, we need to determine how many small bags of candy can be made from it and then multiply that by the selling price of each small bag.
First, let's find out how many small bags of candy can be made from a large bag. Since each small bag weighs 0.75 pounds, we divide the weight of the large bag (18.8 pounds) by the weight of each small bag (0.75 pounds):
18.8 pounds / 0.75 pounds = 25.07
Therefore, approximately 25 small bags of candy can be made from each large bag.
Next, we multiply the number of small bags by the selling price of each small bag to find the total earnings from a large bag:
25 bags * $1.50/bag = $37.50
Hence, they can make approximately $37.50 from each large bag of candy.
To determine how much profit they can make from each large bag of candy, we need to follow these steps:
1. Find out how many small bags can be made from one large bag of candy:
Small bags = Large bag weight / Small bag weight
= 18.8 pounds / 0.75 pounds
Round the answer to the nearest whole number:
Small bags = 25 bags
2. Calculate the revenue from selling all the small bags:
Revenue = Number of small bags x Price per small bag
= 25 bags x $1.50 per bag
3. Round the revenue to the nearest cent:
Revenue = $37.50
Therefore, they can make $37.50 from each large bag of candy.
