Minute Mystery: The Gardening Venture

Bite-sized brain teaser to solve in a minute or less.

 

 

The Gardening Venture

Mia runs a small gardening business and sells three types of plants. The profit made on the plants today was $150, $200, and $250.

If Mia earns a 15%, 18%, and 20% commission respectively on the profit made for each plant, how much money did she make today?

 

 

Solution

 15% of $150 = $22.50

18% of $200 = $36

20% of $250 = $50

$22.50 + $36 + $50 = $108.50


Mia made $108.50 today.
