Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The PTA bought 110 kg of caramels for $297. Since 1 kg = 1000 g, they bought 110,000 g in total. Selling these in 450 g bags means they sold 110,000 g / 450 g = 244.44 bags, which rounds down to 244 bags because they can't sell a partial bag. At $2.97 per bag, their total sales were 244 bags * $2.97 = $724.68. The profit is the total sales minus the cost, so $724.68 - $297 = $427.68, which rounds to approximately $429.00, making option B the correct answer.
