Pickles the dog set up a taco stand. He is open from 9 to 5. He gets 24 customers per hour, and all of them buy one taco. His tacos cost 9 dollars each. How much does Pickles make per day?
Pickles makes 24 customers * 9 dollars per taco = 216 dollars per hour.
He is open for 8 hours, so he makes 216 dollars per hour * 8 hours = 1728 dollars per day.
Therefore, Pickles makes 1728 dollars per day.
Now let's say that Pickles has to buy stuff for tacos. He buys 10 pounds of meat, 13 pounds of cheese, 42 tomatoes, and 17 heads of lettuce if meat is $3.54 per pound, 2.62 per pound of cheese, $0.52 for one tomato, and $0.72 per head of lettuce, how was his profit positive or negative? how much did he make or loose?
First, let's calculate the total cost of the ingredients:
- Meat cost: 10 pounds * $3.54 per pound = $35.40
- Cheese cost: 13 pounds * $2.62 per pound = $34.06
- Tomato cost: 42 tomatoes * $0.52 = $21.84
- Lettuce cost: 17 heads * $0.72 per head = $12.24
Total cost of ingredients: $35.40 + $34.06 + $21.84 + $12.24 = $103.54
Now, let's calculate Pickles' total revenue for the day:
Total revenue: $1728
Now, let's calculate Pickles' profit:
Profit = Total revenue - Total cost
Profit = $1728 - $103.54
Profit = $1624.46
Since Pickles' profit is positive, he made a profit of $1624.46.
Pickles hired employees. He pays Wishiwashi the fish 10 dollars an hour, Poppet the pig 12 dollars an hour, and Meryle Cheep the bird 11 dollars an hour. From 9 to 5, how much does everyone make?
The taco stand is open for 8 hours a day.
Wishiwashi makes 8 hours/day * $10/hour = $80/day
Poppet makes 8 hours/day * $12/hour = $96/day
Meryle Cheep makes 8 hours/day * $11/hour = $88/day
Therefore, in total, Wishiwashi, Poppet, and Meryle Cheep make $80/day + $96/day + $88/day = $264/day.
Pickles has been hired by a big party, and his business is booming. They want 500 tacos from Pickles. He decides to bump his price up to 9.50 for the catering. He can make 25 tacos in 30 minutes. How long will he be making tacos, and how much will the party planners have to pay for the tacos?
To make 500 tacos at a rate of 25 tacos in 30 minutes, we can set up a proportion:
25 tacos / 30 minutes = 500 tacos / x minutes
Cross multiplying, we get:
25 * x = 30 * 500
25x = 15000
x = 15000 / 25
x = 600 minutes
So, Pickles will be making tacos for 600 minutes to make 500 tacos.
Now, let's calculate how much the party planners will have to pay for the tacos at a price of $9.50 each:
500 tacos * $9.50 = $4750
Therefore, the party planners will have to pay $4750 for the 500 tacos.
