Take our quiz to see how you stack up.

2. Are you smarter than a Tech student (of 1888)? See if you can answer this sample questions from the admissions exam given to Tech's first class. If you paid $360 for two tons of cheese and retailed it for 12.5 cents a pound, what was your total profit?

Explanation

The total profit can be calculated by first determining the total cost of the cheese. Since two tons of cheese were purchased for $360, the cost per ton is $180. Since there are 2000 pounds in a ton, the cost per pound is $0.09.

Next, we need to calculate the revenue generated from selling the cheese. Selling it for 12.5 cents per pound is equivalent to $0.125 per pound.

To find the total profit, we subtract the total cost from the total revenue.

Total revenue = $0.125/pound * 2000 pounds = $250
Total cost = $0.09/pound * 2000 pounds = $180

Total profit = Total revenue - Total cost = $250 - $180 = $70

Therefore, the correct answer is not available.
