This is pretty straightforward to figure out.

First figure out how many candles. Each one is 400g from a 20kg block.

You would divide:
20kg / 400g

First convert to the same units:
20000g / 400g

So you can create 50 candles from a 20kg block.

Selling them at £4 each that's a gross income of £200.
Subtract your original investment of £40 for a profit of £160

Selling them at £5 each, that's a gross income of £250.
Subtract your original investment of £40 for a profit of £210

(Note: this all assumes that you have no other costs, but in real life you have your labor, equipment, waste and defective product, electricity, marketing & sales, returns, etc. So if this is a real life question, your net profit will actually be much less.)

Putting that all aside for now, the answer to this question would be that you can make around 50 candles and a profit between £160 and £210.

if each candle you make is 400g, you can make 50 candles. Therefore, if you sell each candle for £4-5, you can sell them all (if demand is high enough) for £200-250. Since you paid £40 for the wax, you will make £160-210 in profit.

Profit mainly depends on the difference between the investment and sale price... Something is missing here. Hope you will find out.

sure, and you will additionally apply it to your ft... It removes all your lifeless pores and skin. purely positioned your palms or ft in the wax and then in a plastic bag and all the wax and lifeless pores and skin could stay in the bag.
