Jonah bought 6 pineapples for $3 each. Each pineapple could be cut into 12 pineapple rings. He sold 4 pineapple rings for $5 each. How much profit did Jonah make?
Thoughts? Step-by-step reasoning:
Jonah spent 6 x $3 = $18. He made a total of 6 x 12 = 72 pineapple rings. He sold 72 / 4 = 18 sets of pineapple rings. He made 18 x $5 = $90. His profit was $90 - $18 = $72.
Thus, the answer is 72.
