A store owner bought flower pots for $1,200 and sold them for $2,700, making a profit of $30 per pot. How many flower pots did she sell?

To find out how many flower pots the store owner sold, we can first determine the profit she made in total and then relate this to the profit per pot.

The total investment for the flower pots was $1,200, and they were sold for $2,700. To find the total profit, we subtract the cost from the selling price:

Total Profit = Selling Price - Cost Price

Total Profit = $2,700 - $1,200

Total Profit = $1,500

Now, if the owner made a profit of $30 per pot, we can calculate the number of pots sold by dividing the total profit by the profit per pot:

Number of Pots Sold = Total Profit / Profit per Pot

Number of Pots Sold = $1,500 / $30

Number of Pots Sold = 50

Therefore, the correct answer is that the store owner sold 50 flower pots. This calculation directly ties the total profit to the profit earned on each individual pot, giving us the correct answer through a straightforward mathematical relationship.
