Answer:
0.025 $/in.
Step-by-step explanation:
The store bought 300 ft of rope.
1 ft = 12 in.
300 ft * 12 in./ft = 3600 in.
The store bought 3600 inches of rope.
The store sells 40 inches of rope for $1.60. We can find the selling unit price of rope in dollars per inch.
($1.60)/(40 in.) = $0.04/in.
The store sells the rope at a price of $0.04 per inch.
The store sold all the rope at $0.04/in.
3600 in. * $0.04/in. = $144
The store sold all the rope for $144.
The profit was $54 for selling ll the rope.
$144 - $54 = $90
The bought the rope for $90.
The cost is dollars per inch is
($90)/(3600 in.) = 0.025 $/in.
