She will have to buy 8 jars for her to make a profit of $214

How to calculate the profit percent

If Alissa buys 6 jars of honey for $65, then;

  • Cost price = 6(65) = $390

If she sells 5 jars for $72, the selling price will be:

Selling price = 5(72) = $360

If she is to make a profit od $214

Profit = selling price - Cost price

214 = n(72) - 390
72n = 214 + 390
72n = 604
n = 8

Hence she will have to buy 8 jars for her to make a profit of $214
