igreen · Answer

Yes, but it costs $8 to make each one..so..

igreen · Answer

If he sold them for $25 each, then he would be making $17 per centerpiece sold.

igreen · Answer

17 * 25 = 425, so 25 can't be our answer.

igreen · Answer

If he sold them for $28, he would be making $20 per centerpiece sold.

20 * 25 = 500. That's even.
