Question

Promise is going to make some chocolate pyramids to sell. The ingredients are chocolate,
honey butter and cornflakes. The ingredients are mixed in the ratio 5:2:3 respectively.
a) How much of each ingredient will she need to make 800g of the mixture?
b) A bar of chocolate weighs 200g and costs $25, a jar of honey butter contains 320g
and costs $90 and a packet of cornflakes contains 240 g and costs $40. Promise makes
3.2 kg of the mixture, from which she can make 80 chocolate pyramids. She charges $7
for each pyramid and sells all 80 of them. How much profit does she make?

Answer 1

Answer:

a. Chocolate= 400g

   Honey butter= 160g

   Cornflakes= 240g

b. Cost price= $90+ $25+ $40= 155

    Selling price= 80× $7= 560

Profit= Selling price- Cost price

= $560- $155

=$405
