Question

The Sunrise Cafe gets tea bags in boxes of l,000. If the cafe charges $1.75 for each cup of tea, and each cup of tea gets one tea bag, how much money does the cafe receive if they use a whole box of 1,000 teabags? Solve with an equation.
If a box of tea bags costs $95, how much money does the cafe actually make after they have used up the box of tea and have paid for it? Solve with an equation.

Answer 1

Well you would do $1.75 x 1,000. That would be 1,750$.

Then you would take away that 95$ they spent buying the box of tea bags and their total would be 1,750$ - 95$ = 1,655$.
