Question

Hi I need help with question 4. Directions: For each real world situation write and solve a system of equations. Give the solution as either an ordered pair or list what each variable is worth

Answer 1

We have the next information

the selling cost is $0.75 per cup

They spend $15.62 on all the ingredients

each cup cost $0.04

The profit for each cup will be

$0.74-0.04=0.071$

In order to break even

$x(0.71)=15.62$$x=\frac{15.62}{0.71}=22$

In order to break even, they must sell 22 cups

In order to begin making a profit, they must sell 23 cups
