The manager of a rug shop bought some rugs for $16 each. He was able to sell all but 6 of them for $22 each, making a profit of $168. How many rugs were originally bought?

the total of rugs is 8

Step-by-step explanation:

6 for $22 means he sold 6 of them and made $132

then take 168 - 132 and we get 36

the rest are 16 each so 2 rugs was the maximum.

168

step-by-step explanation:

first off, we know that he drove 3.5 hours at a rate of 48 mph.

knowing that, we want to see how many miles he drove all-together.

in this case, we can just multiply 48 by 3.5.

48 * 3.5 = 168
