Fetes and fairs

Baker Ross has a huge selection of toys especially for selling at fund-raising events. A new spring catalogue is now out, containing an Easter Fayre mini tombola. This contains 78 Easter-themed prizes, a book of tombola tickets and a free winning number poster, priced 72.75. If all 621 tickets are sold at 25p per ticket there is a profit margin of more than 80. Other items are available in packs of 12 and larger, for example, a pack of 12 mini water pistols is priced 1.56 (13p each) and could sell for 30p each. A pack of 12 bags of marbles is priced 2.16 (18p each), with a suggested selling price of 30p.
