Karma Lopez · Answer 1

The business would get 240$

Step-by-step explanation:

120$ is the amount you would of made for the the 120 items. The business gets 3$ per item. 120 x 3 would be 360, subtracted by 120 which is what they give you. The business would end up with 240$, or 2/3rds of the money.

Itzel Hood · Answer 2

240

Step-by-step explanation:

since you get the items for 1 dollar and sell them for 2 you need to subtract 3-1 to get your profit which is 2. since you sold 120 items, multiply 120x2 to get your profit of 240.
