A store buys 14 sweaters for $84 and sells them for $504. How much profit does the store make per sweater?


To calculate the profit per sweater, follow these steps:

1. **Find the cost per sweater**:
   \[
   \text{Cost per sweater} = \frac{84}{14} = 6
   \]

2. **Find the selling price per sweater**:
   \[
   \text{Selling price per sweater} = \frac{504}{14} = 36
   \]

3. **Calculate the profit per sweater**:
   \[
   \text{Profit per sweater} = \text{Selling price} - \text{Cost price}
   \]
   \[
   \text{Profit per sweater} = 36 - 6 = 30
   \]

So, the store makes a profit of **$30 per sweater**.

3. What would the profit be if the cost per sweater increased by 10%?
4. How many sweaters need to be sold to make a total profit of $600?
5. If the store buys 20 more sweaters at the same price but sells them for $50 each, what would be the profit per sweater?

**Tip**: Always break down a profit calculation by first finding the individual cost and selling price per item.
