Answer 1

Nick needs to sell 20 dog treats per week to break even.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Operating costs per week = $20

Cost for producing each treat = $0.50

Selling price of each treat = $1.50

Let,

x be the number of dog treats.

Costs per week = 0.50x+20

Revenue per week = 1.50x

For breaking even;

Costs = Revenue

$0.50x+20=1.50x\\20=1.50x-0.50x\\20=1x\\x=20$

Nick needs to sell 20 dog treats per week to break even.
