42) A florist buys roses at $0.50 a piece and sells them for $1.00 a piece. If there are no other expenses, how many roses must be sold in order to make a profit of $300?

Explanation

Each rose brings a profit of $1.00 minus $0.50, or $0.50. The number of roses that need to be sold to make a profit of $300 is $300 ÷ $0.50. This is 600 roses.
