How much money was raised by the four ball players that sold the least amount of candy bars? Dillon sold 2 boxes, Alicia sold 8 boxes, Keynan and Mikayla sold 9 boxes each. 10 candy bars at $1 each equals $10. $10 per box sold minus $4 per box cost equals $6 per box profit. 9 boxes plus 9 boxes plus 8 boxes plus 2 boxes equals 28 boxes sold. 28 boxes multiplied by $6 profit per box equals $168 profit(money raised).

what was the median of boxs sold?add 9 and 11.then divde it.anwser1r2.jay
ReplyDeletehow muchmoney did they all earn 66 boxes each box you get $10.00 for each box so 66 $10.00 = $660.00-$4.oo for each box is $500.00 Danny
ReplyDeleteJay- You have a spectacular word problem but the median would be 10 not 1 r2. This will earn you one bonus point.
ReplyDeleteAshlee - You actually created two spectacular one step problems instead of one spectacular two step problem. One bonus point for you.
ReplyDeleteDanny - The total number of boxes sold is 79 not 66. But, using 66 boxes you are correct that they would have collected $660 but the cost at $4 a box for 66 boxes would be $264. Therefore the total earned for 66 boxes would be$396 not $500. Sorry. One bonus point for you.
