A restaurant sells burritos for $8.00 each. The cost of the meat is $1.50 and the cost of the other ingredients is $1.00 for each burrito. Money made from selling burritos is positive. The cost of making burritos is negative. Profit is the money left after paying the costs. How much profit would the restaurant make by selling 100 burritos?

What is the cost of making one burrito? (Remember that costs are negative.) Explain how you found your answer.

Write your answer in the space below.

Profit for 100 burritos: $550

Cost to make one burrito: $2.50

Step-by-step explanation:

If a restaurant sells burritos for $8, that's a positive 8 dollars they earned. Then, we need to find what the cost was to make the burrito. If the meat is 1.50 and the cost for all the other ingredients is 1 dollar, then they lose 2.50 for every 8 dollars they make (for each burrito). So, to find the profit in one burrito, we would add -2.5+8, giving us an answer of 5.5. So, they earn 5 dollars and 50 cents each burrito and lose $2.50.

Now, we need to find the profit of 100 burritos

If one burrito is $5.50 in profit, then we take that amount and multiply it by 100. This is to make the illitsratution of selling 100 burritos. So, 5.50*100 would be 550! They would make $550 for 100 burritos, and lose 250 dollars on all of the burrito ingredients.
