kami buys pens for $4 each and sells them for $4.50 each. How many pens does she needs to sell to make a profit of $50 answer

100 pens

How?

Key-

x represents profit

y represents pens needed to make 50 dollars

Okay, first. We need to find out how much profit he is making per pen. Since he is buying them at 4 and sells at 4.50. We can do the following equation and solve it to find profit.

4.50-4

4.50-4=x

.5=x

So, he makes a profit of 50 cents per pen. Now, to find how much pens we need to sell. We would do the following equation and solve.

50/0.5

50/0.5=y

100=y

Thus, I know that the true answer to this problem is 100

about 11 or 12

Step-by-step explanation:

50 divided by 4.50 is 11.1111111111
