Tony's club is selling oranges to raise money. For every box they sell, they get dollars profit. They have sold 75 boxes already. How many more boxes must they sell to raise 180 dollars? A. boxes B. 85 boxes C. 160 boxes D. boxes

Boxes 85

Explanation:

Missing information: Here profit value is not given. So, 1 1/8 or 9/8 dollars profit on every box.

Number of boxes sold = 75

Total profit on 75 boxes = 9/8 * 75 = $84.375

Target profit is $180

Amount needed to meet target = 180 - 84.375

= $95.625

Profit on one box = 9/8 or $1.125

Number of boxes to be sold to earn $95.625 = 95.625 / 1.125

= 85 boxes

So, 85 more boxes need to be sold to receive target profit of $180.
