Answer 1

Jayla's expenses:

2 blouses at $25.00 each = $50.00
3 skirts at $15.00 each = $45.00
5 pairs of pants at $30.00 each = $150.00

Total expenses = $50.00 + $45.00 + $150.00 = $245.00


Jayla's revenue:

2 blouses sold at $38.00 each = $76.00
3 skirts sold at $26.00 each = $78.00
5 pairs of pants sold at $65.00 each = $325.00

Total revenue = $76.00 + $78.00 + $325.00 = $479.00


Jayla's profit:

Total revenue - Total expenses = $479.00 - $245.00 = $234.00

Jayla's total profit was $234.00.
