Rosie’s Flower Shop bought 20 bundles of a dozen roses each for $9.00 per bundle. The shop then re-bundled the roses into half dozen bundles and sold the half dozen bundles for $12.00 each. What was the initial unit cost (per rose) and what was the gross profit per unit (per rose) after the re-bundling?
$0.69 initial unit cost / $1.50 gross profit after re-bundling

Leah opened up her own real estate agency. The agency’s commission for each sold property was 5%. In order to meet all of her overhead costs she calculated that for each house that sold at $150,000.00 it would take 23.2% of the commission the agency received to cover her expenses so long as she sold 6 houses each month. If Leah sold 6 houses in a month, what would be the agency’s net profit for that month?
$32,756.00
$37,500.00
$30,650.00
$34,560.00
