Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Alexandra has a stand in the marketplace where she sells ground cumin. She has a fixed amount of weekly expenses, and she sells her cumin for $7.20  per kilogram. If she sells 90 kilograms of cumin, her weekly net  profit is $414.

What are Alexandra's weekly expenses? $  How much cumin does Alexandra have to sell to cover her weekly expenses? kilograms​

According to the question 1 kg of Cumin costs 7.20

                                 Therefore 90kg of cumin will cost 7.20 x 90 = $648

So Alexandria’s profit is $414

So $648 - $414 = $234 will be Alexandria’s weekly expenses.

So in order to cover her weekly expenses she needs to sell by                         dividing 414 / 7.20 = 57.5 kilograms
