Mario also discovers that when he works the Miami Heat games by himself he sells 1000 snow cones. When Sarah works with him, they sell an additional 10% more. When Mario, Sarah and Aaron all work together, they sell an additional 10% more than that. Mario must also give the American Airlines Centre 15% of total sales for rent. He only sells snow cones and he charges $3.75 per snow cone. Each snow cone costs $1.00 to make (cup, snow, flavorings, etc.). Mario pays Sarah $15/per hour and Aaron $12 per hour and they work 4 hours at each Miami Heat game. Mario does not draw an hourly wage but gets to keep the profits. His profits are determined after he pays for rent, supplies and employee wages.

You have an arithmetic mistake in your very first calculation: 15% of 3750 is 562.50. 375 is 10%.
