The fifth-grade craft club is making aprons to sell. Each apron takes 1.25 yards of fabric that costs $3 per yard and 4.5 yards of trim that costs $2 per yard. What does it cost the club to make one apron? If the club wants to make $1.75 profit on each apron, how much should they charge per apron?

Respuesta :

It costs the club $12.75 to make one apron

They should charge $14.5 per apron

Step-by-step explanation:

The given is:

1. Each apron takes 1.25 yards of fabric that costs $3 per yard

2. It takes 4.5 yards of trim that costs $2 per yard

3. The club wants to make $1.75 profit on each apron

∵ Each apron takes 1.25 yards of fabric that costs $3 per yard

∴ The cost of fabric = 1.25 × 3 = $3.75

∵ Each apron takes 4.5 yards of trim that costs 2$ per yard

∴ The cost of trim = 4.5 × 2 = $9

∵ The total cost of an apron = fabric cost + trim cost

∴ The total cost of an apron = 3.75 + 9 = $12.75

It costs the club $12.75 to make one apron

∵ The club wants to make a profit $1.75 on each apron

∵ The profit = selling price - cost price

∵ The cost price of each apron is $12.75

∴ 1.75 = selling price - 12.75

- Add 12.75 to both sides

∴ Selling price = $14.5

They should charge $14.5 per apron
