a shoe company sends out 7 trucks loaded with nursing shoes that cost the company$1572 per truck. if they send out 750 boxes per truck, what would be the profit if the cost per box is $125.40?

The answer to this is $647,346.

First, you multiply 750 by $125.40 and you get $94050. That's how much is made with one truck.

Next, you multiply that number by 7 since there are 7 trucks. $94050x7=$658350. That's how much money is made altogether, but we aren't done yet.

Now, we're going to find the profit. You can do that by finding out how much the company paid for the trucks and subtracting it from the total value. So first, you do $1572x7 which equals 11004. Then, you subtract that from how much money they made all together. So it's now 658350-11004 which equals $647346.

Question:

A shoe company sends out 7 trucks loaded with nursing shoes that cost the company$1572 per truck. if they send out 750 boxes per truck, what would be the profit if the cost per box is $125.40?

Solution/Answer:

1 Truck = $1,572

7 Trucks = 1,572 x 7 = $11,004

1 Truck = 750 boxes

7 Trucks = 750 x 7 = 5,250 boxes

1 Box = 125.40

5,250 boxes price = 5250 x 125.4 = $658,350

Profit = 658,350 - 11,004 = 647,346

Total Profit:

$647,346
