Answer

£874.60\pounds874.60

Step-by-step solution

5 steps

Here's how to calculate Vic's total profit for the five days:

  1. Calculate total sales for the five days.

    Add up the sales for each day:

    Total Sales=£225+£260+£230+£180+£150=£1,045\text{Total Sales} = \pounds225 + \pounds260 + \pounds230 + \pounds180 + \pounds150 = \pounds1,045
  2. Calculate the total cost of ingredients.

    Ingredients cost 12% of total sales:

    Ingredients Cost=12%×£1,045=0.12×£1,045=£125.40\text{Ingredients Cost} = 12\% \times \pounds1,045 = 0.12 \times \pounds1,045 = \pounds125.40
  3. Calculate the total fuel cost.

    Fuel costs £9 per day for 5 days:

    Fuel Cost=£9/day×5 days=£45\text{Fuel Cost} = \pounds9/\text{day} \times 5 \text{ days} = \pounds45
  4. Calculate the total costs.

    Add the ingredients cost and the fuel cost:

    Total Costs=Ingredients Cost+Fuel Cost=£125.40+£45=£170.40\text{Total Costs} = \text{Ingredients Cost} + \text{Fuel Cost} = \pounds125.40 + \pounds45 = \pounds170.40
  5. Calculate the total profit.

    Profit is Total Sales minus Total Costs:

    Total Profit=Total Sales−Total Costs=£1,045−£170.40=£874.60\text{Total Profit} = \text{Total Sales} - \text{Total Costs} = \pounds1,045 - \pounds170.40 = \pounds874.60

    Vic's total profit for the five days is £874.60.

    The final answer is £874.60\pounds874.60.
