A baker puts 5 cups of fruit into each pie he bakes. He pays $0.75 for 1 cup of fruit and $2.50 for the pie crust. He sells each pie for $10.25. After subtracting the cost of the fruit and pie crust, how much does he earn if he smells 10 pies?
The cost of the fruit cups is: (5) * (0.75) = 3.75 $ The cost of the pie is given by: C = 3.75 + 2.50 C = 6.25 $ The gain is given by the cost of sale minus the preparation cost: 10.25 - 6.25 = 4 $ After selling 10 pies the profit is: (4) * (10) = $ 40 Answer: he earns $ 40 if he sells 10 pies
