Question

A cell phone company has a sale going in which all customers receive a free car charger and headset with the purchase of a new cell phone. It costs the company $32.32 to make each cell phone, $25.12 to make each car charger, and $21.18 to make each headset. The cell phones are then sold for $182.13 each. Approximately how much profit will the company make if 509 customers take advantage of the sale?

Answer 1

The costs are as follows:

(32.32) (509)=$16,450.88
(25.12) (509)=$12,786.08
(21.18) (509)=$10,780.62

The total cost = $40,017.58

The sale is:

(182.13) (509)=$92,704.17

Profit=Revenue-Cost
Profit=$92,704.17-40,017.58
Profit=$52,686.59
