Word Problem: You have started a business making papier mache sculptures. The cost to make a sculpture is $.75. Your sculptures sell for $14.50 each at a craft store. You receive 50% of the selling price. Each sculpture takes about 2 hours to complete. If you spend 14 hours per week making sculptures, about how many weeks will you work to earn a profit of $360?

0.59 weeks will be the answer. 
50/100 x 14.5 = 7.25 ( profit per sculpture I will receive) 
If $7.25 in 2 hrs then $a in 14hrs = $50.75 (ratio method)
1 week= 168 hrs 
a week = 14hrs ........ a = 0.083 week then multiply by $360 and then divide by $50.75 answer = 0.59 weeks.
