Your stream-of-consciousness pseudo-summation of the exercise is quite unclear. For instance, "cost me 6.25 to make" could mean "My costs were $6.25 for producing the original 83 items" or could mean "My costs were $6.25 per item to produce". Similarly, "sold them for 12.75" could mean "I was able to sell the remaining 76 items for $12.75" or could mean "I was able to sell each of the remaining 76 items for $12.75 apiece".
Please reply with the full and exact text of the exercise, the complete instructions, and a clear listing of your thoughts and efforts so far, so we can see where you're getting lost. Thank you!
