Answer:
$126.00
Step-by-step explanation:
The Hershey bars were purchased for $6 per dozen. There are 12 bars per dozen. First, find the cost per bar.
cost / bar
$6 / 12 bars
$0.50 / bar
Next, find the profit on one bar. The bars costs $0.50 each and are being sold for $1.25. The profit will be the difference between the two numbers.
$1.25 - $0.50
$0.75
Finally, find the profit on 14 dozen bars.
There are 168 bars in 14 dozen. ( 12 per dozen, 14 dozen, 12*14= 168).
Multiply the profit of one bar ($0.75) by 168.
168 *$ 0.75
$126
The profit on 14 dozen Hershey bars is $126.00
