James bought 5 baseball cards at a garage sale for $0.65 cents each ,he sold them to a collector for $2.25 each .what was his profit

Question

$3.25
$8.00
$11.25
$14.50

Answer 1

His profit is $11.25.

To find out, we can first calculate how much James spent on the cards:

5 cards x $0.65/card = $3.25

Then we can calculate how much he sold the cards for:

5 cards x $2.25/card = $11.25

To find the profit, we can subtract the cost from the revenue:

$11.25 - $3.25 = $8.00

Therefore, James made a profit of $8.00 by buying and reselling the baseball cards.
