a)

Add the costs of material and labor together:

Subtract this value from how much Lucy sells a necklace for:

Lucy's profit from a necklace is $7.04.

Set up a fraction where the profit is the numerator, and the sale price is the denominator to get your ratio:

The ratio will be 704/1599.

b)

Divide the profit by the sale price:

Multiply the decimal by 100 to get your percentage:

Check the tenths value to round to the nearest percent:

0 < 5

44.03 ≈ 44

44% of the sale price is profit.

c)

Divide the total amount Lucy earned at the fair by the sale price of an individual necklace:

Lucy made 14 necklaces.

To find the total profit Lucy made from the fair, multiply the total amount of necklaces she made by the profit for each necklace:
