Zariah Callahan · Answer 1

Calculate the profit on one device, and then multiply the result by 10.

Cost of broken Mir487 + cost of transistor + profit = $224.96

$51.90 + $8.10 + profit + $224.96

$60 + profit = $224.96

Profit on the sale of one refurbished Mir487: $164.96

Profit on the sale of 10 refurb'd units: $1649.60

Which of the four given possible answers is closest to $1649.60?
