ali buys 120 cans of drink for a total of £30. He wants to make a profit of 40%. What price should he charge each can for him to get this

Answer :

charstar
30*(100%+40%)
30*140%
140% as a decimal is (140/100) which is 1.4
30*1.4=42
42/120=0.32.

Ali should sell each can for $0.32

Hope this helps :)

Hey there! :)

The answer to your question $0.42(that's included the 40% profit) So we do 30 divided by 5 = 6 x 2 = 12 then you add the $30+12= 42. the 12 is the 40 % profit.

Then you do 42 divided by 120 = 0.35 that is how much he will sell is include his 40 % of profit.

Let say if the was not adding the profit he will sell one can just 0.25 cent the 10 cent is the profit.

I hope is easy to understand the step I write to explain.
