Hello!
Thank you for asking us your question 😉
In this case, you have to calculate the cost of production of one tablecloth to be able to know what was the expected profit.
The production cost of one tablecloth includes the cost for the fabric, for the lace and for the salary of the workers. In this case, you have to determine the quantity of fabric and lace needed per tablecloth to determine the price by tablecloth. You also have to determine the time required to make one tablecloth to calculate how much the seamstresses are paid per tablecloth.
I hope this will be helpful!
