Studdy Solution

STEP 1

1. The cost price per dozen Hershey's bars is \$9.
2. The selling price per individual Hershey's bar is \$1.25.
3. We need to find the profit for 15 dozen Hershey's bars.

STEP 2

1. Calculate the total cost of purchasing 15 dozen Hershey's bars.
2. Calculate the total revenue from selling 15 dozen Hershey's bars.
3. Calculate the profit by subtracting the total cost from the total revenue.

STEP 3

Calculate the total cost of purchasing 15 dozen Hershey's bars.
The cost per dozen is \9.9. \text{Total cost} = 15 \times 9 = 135 \text{ dollars}$

STEP 4

Calculate the total revenue from selling 15 dozen Hershey's bars.
There are 12 bars in a dozen, and the selling price per bar is \1.25.1.25. \text{Total number of bars} = 15 \times 12 = 180 \text{ bars} \text{Total revenue} = 180 \times 1.25 = 225 \text{ dollars}$

STEP 5

Calculate the profit by subtracting the total cost from the total revenue.
Profit=Total revenueTotal cost=225135=90 dollars\text{Profit} = \text{Total revenue} - \text{Total cost} = 225 - 135 = 90 \text{ dollars}
The profit on 15 dozen Hershey's bars is \$90.
