My question is: A supermarket has pints of strawberries on sale. They sold 54 pints and made $216, which was $108 less than they would have made selling the same number of pints without the sale. How many more dollars does a pint of strawberries cost when not on sale? Your thoughts:
On sale, a pint of strawberries costs 216 / 54 = $4. The supermarket would have made 216 + 108 = $324 if the strawberries were not on sale. Thus, a pint of strawberries not on sale costs 324 / 54 = $6. Hence, a pint of strawberries costs 6 - 4 = $2 more when not on sale. The final answer: 2.
