  • L2-1 Building Bird Houses
    Answer First, let’s determine how much the event at the hospital will cost. 4 Magicians at $50 each 4 X $50 = $200 for the Magicians Second, we need to add the cost of the toys. $200 for the toys plus $200 for the Magicians. This equals $400. London needs a total of $400 for the event. Thus, the required budget is $400. London makes a $20 profit per birdhouse. The costs that London incurs to make the birdhouses must be subtracted from the sale price. We can deduce that the materials cost $10 for each birdhouse. Thus, London has $20 to split among her Save, Give and Live banks. London puts $5 each in the Save and Live banks. She has $10 to deposit in her Give bank weekly. Divide $400 = 40 $10 London has to sell 40 birdhouses to save the $400 for the event.
