Joel sells ice cream cones at the county fair. He has to rent the equipment for $28 and spent $.33 on a gradients for each account. What is the minimum number of ice cream cones Joe my cell at $1.30 each in order to make a profit?

Rental - $28
Ingredients- $33
Total $61.00

At $1.30 each you can guesstimate he'd have to sell almost 60 cones to break even.
OR
You can divide 1.30 into $61.00 for about 47 cones to break even. (I rounded up)

To make a profit he would either need to sell double that amount or he could raise the cost of his cone to $2.00 & make profit sooner.
