Coats .. I think it's tricky

by Abdulla » Tue Nov 24, 2009 9:40 pm
A store Purchased 20 coats that each an equal amount and then sold each of the coats at an equal price. What was the store's gross profit on the 20 coats?

(1) If the selling price per coat had been twice as much, the store's gross profit on the 20 coats would have been $2,400.
(2) IF the selling price per coat had been $2 more, the store's gross profit on the 20 coats would have been $440.

What's wrong with A?

OA is B
