Marco owns an ice cream truck. His ice cream cones are $5 each. If his expenses are 80% of total sales for the day, how many ice cream cones would he need to sell to make a $200 profit for the day?
Let’s work this out in a step by step way to be sure we have the right answer.
200
His expenses are 80 / 100 = 4 / 5.

His profit would be 20 / 100 = 1 / 5.

Total sales for the day is $200 x 5 = $1000.

Total ice cream cones he sells is $1000 / 5 = 200.

.

The final answer: 200
