First, let's find out how many he sold to the department store:
[tex]48-17=31[/tex]

Now, we know he sold 17 for $18, let's get that total:
[tex]17*18=306[/tex]

Next, let's figure up how much he made from the department store:
[tex]31*25=775[/tex]

So, in total he made:
[tex]306+775=1081[/tex]

Minus the initial cost of the backpacks, gives a profit of:
[tex]1081-576=505[/tex]

To get the answer we have to calculate income and subtract 576 from it.
He sold 17 bp for 18$ so 17*18=306$
We know that rest (48-17=31) he sold for 25$
31*25=775$
Now we can add income 306+775=1081.
Finally we can find profit
1081-576=505$ - its the result
