Melanie made 25 scarves, sells 15 at $18\$ 18 each and 10 at half price. How much money will she make?

STEP 1

Assumptions1. Melanie made25 scarves. The regular price of each scarf is $183. She sells15 scarves at the regular price4. She sells the remaining10 scarves at half the regular price

STEP 2

First, we need to calculate the total amount Melanie will make from selling the15 scarves at the regular price. We can do this by multiplying the number of scarves sold at regular price by the regular price.
Total from regular price=Number of scarves sold at regular pricetimesRegular priceTotal\, from\, regular\, price = Number\, of\, scarves\, sold\, at\, regular\, price \\times Regular\, price

STEP 3

Now, plug in the given values for the number of scarves sold at regular price and the regular price to calculate the total amount from regular price.
Total from regular price=15times$18Total\, from\, regular\, price =15 \\times \$18

STEP 4

Calculate the total amount from regular price.
Total from regular price=15times$18=$270Total\, from\, regular\, price =15 \\times \$18 = \$270

STEP 5

Next, we need to calculate the total amount Melanie will make from selling the remaining10 scarves at half price. We can do this by multiplying the number of scarves sold at half price by half the regular price.
Total from half price=Number of scarves sold at half pricetimesHalf the regular priceTotal\, from\, half\, price = Number\, of\, scarves\, sold\, at\, half\, price \\times Half\, the\, regular\, price

STEP 6

Now, plug in the given values for the number of scarves sold at half price and half the regular price to calculate the total amount from half price.
Total from half price=10times12times$18Total\, from\, half\, price =10 \\times \frac{1}{2} \\times \$18

STEP 7

Calculate the total amount from half price.
Total from half price=10times12times$18=$90Total\, from\, half\, price =10 \\times \frac{1}{2} \\times \$18 = \$90

STEP 8

Now that we have the total amounts from selling scarves at regular price and at half price, we can find the total amount Melanie will make. This is the sum of the total amount from regular price and the total amount from half price.
Total amount=Total from regular price+Total from half priceTotal\, amount = Total\, from\, regular\, price + Total\, from\, half\, price

STEP 9

Plug in the values for the total amount from regular price and the total amount from half price to calculate the total amount.
Total amount=$270+$90Total\, amount = \$270 + \$90

STEP 10

Calculate the total amount Melanie will make.
Total amount=$270+$90=$360Total\, amount = \$270 + \$90 = \$360Melanie will make $360.
