Question

Darryl has a daily goal of earning $100 in profit. His profit is $0.72 per sandwich, and he sold 150 sandwiches today. Explain how Darryl can use the profit rate to determine how much profit he earned. Did Darryl meet his daily goal?

Answer 1

Given : Darryl has a daily goal of earning $100 in profit. His profit is $0.72 per sandwich. Number of sandwiches sold by Darryl to have a profit of $100 is

100 ÷ 0.72= 138.9

If Darryl sells 138.9 sandwiches he will have his target of having a profit of $100.

Given Darryl is selling 150 sandwiches every day .He is selling more than the number of sandwiches required to have his target profit of $100.

Darryl meet his daily goal .

Answer 2

Multiply the profit per sandwich times the number of sandwiches sold for the day. The profit for the day is higher than his goal.
