Chris is the owner of the local convenience store.
Last month he sold 40 boxes of chocolates at his shop.
They were sold either for £8 or in a special offer of 2 boxes of chocolates for £13.
20 boxes were sold for £8 and the remaining were sold using the special offer.
Given that Chris bought the chocolates for £150.00.
How much profit did he make?
Answer
The money made for the 20 £8 boxes is 20 x 8 or £160.00.
The remaining 20 were sold 2 for £13 so the money made is 10 x £13 = £130.00.
Chris made 160 + 130 = £290.00.
Therefore, he made a profit of £140.00.
