Answer:
He should sell his CD's for $2.
Step-by-step explanation:
Each crate contains 60 blank CD’s and each crate cost $35.
This means that he will pay $35 for 60 CD's.
How much should he sell his CD’s to make a profit of $85?
He will sell each of the 60 CD's for x, which means that his earnings will be of 60x.
Profit: Earnings - Cost = 60x - 35
To make a profit of $85
[tex]60x - 35 = 85[/tex]
[tex]60x = 120[/tex]
[tex]x = \frac{120}{60}[/tex]
[tex]x = 2[/tex]
He should sell his CD's for $2.
