you spent $24 on baking ingredients, and you sell your cupcakes at a bake sale for $4 each. You sold 25 cupcakes. Did you make enough money to buy a $60 video game

To determine whether you made enough money to buy a $60 video game, we can calculate the profit from selling cupcakes.

1. **Revenue from selling cupcakes**:  
You sold 25 cupcakes at $4 each:  
\[
\text{Revenue} = 25 \times 4 = 100
\]

2. **Cost of ingredients**:  
You spent $24 on ingredients.

3. **Profit**:  
Profit is the difference between revenue and cost:  
\[
\text{Profit} = 100 - 24 = 76
\]

Since your profit is $76, and the video game costs $60, you have enough money to buy the video game.

### Summary:
- **Money earned**: $76
- **Video game cost**: $60
- **Result**: You have $16 left after buying the video game.
