Jose bought 750 bags of peanuts for 375.00. He intends to sell each bag for 0.15 more the he paid. How much should he charge for each bag

Sagot :

Find out how much is 1 bag of peanuts that he bought.

375.00 divided by 750 = 0.50 cents

0.50 + 0.15 = 0.65 cents

Jose should charge 0.65 cents for each bag.

Answer:

Charge for each bag = 0.65

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of 1 bag be = x

Bags             Cost

750               375.00

 1                     x

[tex]\frac{750}{1} = \frac{375}{x}\\\\x \times 750 = 375 \times 1\\\\x = \frac{375}{750} = 0.50[/tex]

Therefore, the amount Jose paid for each bag = 0.50

He is going to sell each bag for 0.15 more than he paid,

that is , 0.50 + 0.15 = 0.65
