Jane spent $30 to buy materials to make bracelets. She sold the bracelets using two pricing options. Option A is 5 bracelets for $6, and Option B is 3 bracelets for $4. Jane made three sales with Option A, and six sales with Option B. Which numerical expression results in Jane’s profit? How much was Jane’s profit?

Answer 1

Jane’s profit can be represented by the numerical expression:

Profit = revenue - cost

Revenue from Option A = 3 sales × 5 bracelets/sale × $6/bracelet = $<<3*5*6=90>>90
Revenue from Option B = 6 sales × 3 bracelets/sale × $4/bracelet = $<<6*3*4=72>>72

Total revenue = $90 + $72 = $<<90+72=162>>162

Profit = $162 - $30 = $<<162-30=132>>132

Jane’s profit was $132.
