The answer is 125 I believe, the other answers were incorrect so..

Each person's share of the profit is $ 125.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Three friends are holding a car wash and agree to split the profits equally.

Also, They purchase supplies for $ 75 and their total income is $ 450.

We have to find each person's share of the profit.

Profit = $ (450 - 75) = $ 375

Their total profit is $375.

Given they split the profits equally.

Thus, dividing the profit $ 375 into 3 parts , we have,

$ 125 each .

Thus, each person's share of the profit is $ 125.
