Question

1. aaliyah buys 3 pairs of shoes at a yard sale for $15 each. if she restores them and sells them for $45 per pair, what is her profit?
2. the regular price of the hat was $36. if the hat was sold for \\(\frac{1}{4}\\) off, find the sale price of the hat?

Explanation:

Problem 2

Step1: Calculate total cost

Total cost = number of pairs × cost per pair = \( 3 \times 15 = 45 \) dollars.

Step2: Calculate total revenue

Total revenue = number of pairs × selling price per pair = \( 3 \times 45 = 135 \) dollars.

Step3: Calculate profit

Profit = total revenue - total cost = \( 135 - 45 = 90 \) dollars.

Step1: Calculate discount amount

Discount = \( \frac{1}{4} \times 36 = 9 \) dollars.

Step2: Calculate sale price

Sale price = regular price - discount = \( 36 - 9 = 27 \) dollars.

Answer:

\( \$90 \)
