By selling some crates of soft drinks for ₦600.00, a dealer makes a profit of 50%50\%. How much did the dealer pay for the drinks?

Worked solution (try it first)
  1. A 50%50\% profit means ₦600 is 150%150\% of the cost: 1.5×cost=6001.5 \times \text{cost} = 600.
  2. Divide both sides by 1.5: cost =400= 400.
  3. So the dealer paid ₦400.00, option A.
