Question: James is running a fundraiser selling candy bars. Each box has 10 candy bars in it. He sells 5 boxes. He sells each candy bar for $1.50 and buys each bar for $1. How much profit does he make from these sales? Think carefully first, then make a decision:
He makes 1.5 - 1 = $.5 from each candy bar. He sells 5 * 10 = 50 candy bars. So he makes 50 * .5 = $25. So the answer is 25.
