It costs her £95 to make the jars of jam.
Her target is to make a profit of at least £100.
Does she meet her target?

Seems comparably easier unless I've read it incorrectly.

50 jars sold at £3 = £150
30 jars sold at £1.80 = £54

£150 + £54 = £204 raised from Sales
£95 to produce the jars means a profit of £204 - £95 = £109, a profit of at least £100 :)

I just took it from a GCSE exam paper to show how the first one is just maths.

Did you buy that shirt in Ireland? Because there is some amount of tax on that shirt.

My brain hurts :(

Edit: No. I get it. I think.... I don't know D:

I was never good at math, I'm not even gonna try lol.

I really don't understand this, at all. I'm normally good at stuff like this but this just made me go... oh. Lmao.
