Show all workings.

Accepted Answer

This is a multi-step calculation.
1.  **Find the target profit.** Use Table 2 to calculate the total profit from two weddings. Remember Profit = Total Revenue - Total Costs.
2.  **Calculate the profit from one family session.** The question gives you the revenue (£180) and cost (£60) for a family session.
3.  **Divide.** Divide the total profit needed (from step 1) by the profit per family session (from step 2) to find the number of sessions required.
