Olivia bought severa apples at 20 cents each, ate two of them, and sold the rest for 30 cents each. she made a profit of $2.20. how many did she buy?

Respuesta :

So for this equation you are counting by twos so she bought ten apples
24. Knowing that she would make .10 profit per apple sold, you would first divide 2.20 by .10 to get 22. Then you add the 22 apples sold to the 2 apples she ate to get 24.
