Problem 990

Daily Math Challenge - August 30, 2023



At the discount retail store, the manager marked down a special batch of 10-pack scented markers that originally sold for $3.00.  By doing this, the store sold all of these scented markers. The owner of the store asked the manager, "How much profit did we make?"  The manager responded, "I have not figured it out yet, but the gross sales (excluding tax) of the markers was exactly $603.77."  Your task is to determine how many 10-packs of scented markers were sold?
