Josef Fishbein, owner of the Acme Novelty Store, received a consignment of yo-yos from a supplier in India.<\/p>\n
Josef Fishbein offered the yo-yos for sale at the price of one dollar, figuring he would make a handsome profit since there were a lot of kids living in Bearville.<\/p>\n
But, sales were poor for quite a while and Josef Fishbein saw his profits float away like a lost balloon.<\/p>\n
Then, one afternoon, a happy boy named Dennis came to buy a yo-yo, but did not have quite enough money to pay for it.<\/p>\n
As the young boy reminded Josef Fishbein of his grandson Moishe who lived far away, he let Dennis have the yo-yo at a cheaper price, and decided to lower the price to this level for good luck.<\/p>\n
Next day, the Acme Novelty Store was flooded with young boys who bought all the yo-yos. Dennis had started a fad of swinging the yo-yo in a loop in a fanciful way, so all his friends had to do it.<\/p>\n
Josef Fishbein was very happy to sell his entire stock of yo-yos for $259.79.<\/p>\n
Can you work out how many yo-yos Josef Fishbein sold? And the new price?<\/em><\/p>\nShare this:<\/h3>
