Challenge: Calculate The Profit

You work for a manufacturer and have been asked to calculate the total profit made on the sales of a product. You are given a dictionary containing the cost price per unit (in dollars), sell price per unit (in dollars), and the starting inventory. Return the total profit made, rounded to the nearest dollar. Assume all of the inventory has been sold.

Hint: Profit = Total Sales – Total Cost

Example 1:

Cost Per Unit: $32.67

Sell Price Per Unit: $45.00

Inventory: 1,200

The Calculated Profit Should Be $14,796

Example 2:

Cost Per Unit: $225.89

Sell Price Per Unit: $550.00

Inventory: 100

The Calculated Profit Should Be $32,411

Example 3:

Cost Per Unit: $2.77

Sell Price Per Unit: $7.95

Inventory: 8,500

The Calculated Profit Should Be $44,030
