Lydia can make 12 bars of soap in an hour. She works 4 hours a day, 7 days a week. Lydia makes a profit of $0.22 for each bar of soap. How much profit does Lydia make in a year rounded to the nearest ten dollars?

Answer 1

In one day, Lydia makes 12 bars of soap/hour * 4 hours/day = 48 bars of soap
In one week, Lydia makes 48 bars of soap/day * 7 days/week = 336 bars of soap
In one year, Lydia makes 336 bars of soap/week * 52 weeks/year = 17472 bars of soap
Lydia's total profit for the year is 17472 bars of soap * $0.22/bar = $3843.84
Rounded to the nearest ten dollars, Lydia makes a profit of $3840.
