What did they pay for the bumper stickers?

anonymous · Answer

(A) makes sense because 1000*1.25=$1250 so you would still be making profit from selling it at 1.25.

thanks :)

mertsj · Answer

If you pay 1.25 for something and sell it for 1.25, how can you make a profit?

anonymous · Answer

oh sorry, its $2.00 
because, cost is 1250 so you go (2000-1250=750)

mertsj · Answer

They spent $1250 for the stickers.  They want to make $750 which means they need to take in $2000.  So if they have 1000 stickers and need to get at least $2000 for them, they should price them at $2 each or more.
