Ben is making wooden toys for the next arts and crafts sale. Each toy costs Ben $1.80 to make. If he sells the toys for $3.00 each, how many will he have to see to make a profit of $36.00?
I know the answer is 30, but I'm not sure how you get that answer.
If you could tell me how you get this answer, that would be awesome!

1. work out the profit that "Ben" makes per toy - ie $3.00-$1.80 = $1.20
2. divide the total profit made ($36) by the profit per toy - $36/$1.20 = $30
2. divide the total profit made ($36) by the profit per toy - $36/$1.20 = $30
