Answer:
We need to sell 10 candy bars to break even.
Step-by-step explanation:
The cost price of each candy bar is $0.6.
The shipping charges for one time is $9.
Let "n" be the total number of candy bars bought.
Thus, the total amount spent by us is,
= [tex](0.6)(n) + 9[/tex]
The selling price of each candy bar is $1.5
The total amount earned by selling all n candy bars is,
= [tex](1.5)(n)[/tex]
In order to break even, the profit should be equal to the total cost price.
= [tex](0.6)(n) + 9 = (1.5)(n)[/tex]
= [tex]9 = (0.9)(n)[/tex]
= [tex]n = 10[/tex]
