Ahigh school athletic department bought 40 soccer uniforms at a cost of $3,000. after soccer season, they returned some of the uniforms but only received $40 per uniform. what was the difference between what they paid for each uniform and what they got for each return?

They purchased 40 uniforms. If you divide 3,000 by 40, you'll find the amount that they paid for each uniform.

3,000 divided by 40 is 75. They paid $75 per uniform. To find the difference between the original price and the returned money, subtract 40 from 75.

75 minus 40 is 35. The difference between what they paid for each uniform and what they got for each return is $35.

Iwould think that the correct answer is 8.1
