azul decided to sell cookies to raise money for the needy. she spent $9 at the supermarket for the ingredients. azul then sold 43 cookies at $0.76 each. the profit from the cookies was then donated to the needy. how much did she donate?
43 * 0.76 = 32.68
32.68 - 9 = ?
23.68?
Right.
To find out how much Azul donated, we need to calculate the total profit from selling the cookies.
First, let's calculate the total revenue generated from selling the 43 cookies. We know that each cookie was sold for $0.76, so we can multiply the number of cookies sold by the price per cookie:
Total revenue = 43 cookies * $0.76/cookie
Total revenue = $32.68
Now, to calculate the profit, we need to subtract the total cost of the ingredients that Azul purchased at the supermarket. We know that she spent $9 on the ingredients:
Profit = Total revenue - Cost of ingredients
Profit = $32.68 - $9
Profit = $23.68
Therefore, Azul donated $23.68 to the needy.
