Question: Laran has started a poster business. She is selling 5 posters per day at school. Two posters per day are her large posters that sell for $10. The large posters cost her $5 to make. The remaining posters are small posters that sell for $6. They cost $3 to produce. How much profit, in dollars, does Laran make per 5-day school week? Think carefully first, then make a decision:
The profit made for each large poster is $10 - $5 = $5. Each day Laran earns $5 * 2 = $10 from selling large posters. The profit made for each small poster is $6 - $3 = $3. Each day Laran earns $3 * 3 = $9 from selling small posters. Laran makes a total profit of $10 + $9 = $19 per day. For a 5 day school week, Laran makes a profit of 5 * $19 = $95. So the answer is 95.
