This will make you think!

OMG here's another one:

Martha sells jars of jam at a farmers’ market.
She has 80 jars to sell at £3 each.
She sells 50 jars and then reduces the price by 40%.
Martha then sells the remaining jars at the reduced price.
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.
