How can that be? Kerry made a profit, but Nannette paid less than half his cost????

400 * 0.48 = 192

400 + 192 = ______ amount Nannette pays
592
Right. Doesn't that make sense to you?

first, you take the 400 and multiply that by .48 which equals 192 so then you do 192 plus 400 which equals 592 and there's ur answer!
1. 400 2. 400
x 0.48 +192
------------- --------
$132.00 $592
