Question

Jayla buys and sells vintage clothing. She bought two blouses for $25.00 each and later sold them for $38.00 each. She bought three skirts for $15.00 each and later sold them for $26.00 each. She bought five pairs of pants for $30.00 each and later sold them for $65.00 each.

Jayla’s expenses for purchasing the items were:

($70, $129, $234, 245, $479) - answer choices

Jayla’s revenue from the sale of the items was:

($70, $129, $234, 245, $479)

Jayla’s total profit was:

($70, $129, $234, 245, $479)

Answer 1

Jayla's expenses for purchasing the items were $70 + $129 + $234 + $245 + $479 = $<<70+129+234+245+479=1157>>1157.

Jayla's revenue from the sale of the items was (2 blouses * $38 each) + (3 skirts * $26 each) + (5 pants * $65 each) = $<<2*38+3*26+5*65=430>>430.

Jayla's total profit was $430 - $1157 = $<<430-1157=-727>>-727.

Answer 3

My apologies for the mistake. Let's calculate again:

Jayla's expenses for purchasing the items were 2 blouses * $25 each + 3 skirts * $15 each + 5 pants * $30 each = $50 + $45 +$150 = $245.

Jayla's revenue from the sale of the items was 2 blouses * $38 each + 3 skirts * $26 each + 5 pants * $65 each = $76 + $78 + $325 = $479.

Jayla's total profit was $479 - $245 = $234.

So, Jayla's expenses were $245, her revenue was $479, and her profit was $234.
