Question

Mrs. Ramiriz is making pies to sell at the local farmer’s market. It costs her $5 to make each pie, plus a one-time cost of $30 for baking supplies. She plans to sell the pies for $12 each. Which equation can be used to find the number of pies she needs to sell to break even?

Answer 1

5p + 30 = 12p <== ur equation
5p - 12p = -30
-7p = -30
p = -30/-7
p = 4 2/7 pies to break even
