Complete question :
Mitch is making birdhouses to sell. He needs to make at least $678. Each birdhouse costs $28 to make. He is selling them for $40 each. What is the minimum he can sell to reach his goal?
Answer:
57
Explanation:
you need to make $678 and it costs $28 to make it and you are selling it for $40 each .. What is the minimum you have to sell
Target profit = $678
Expenses per product = $28
Income per sale = $40
Profit per sale = $(40 - 28) = $12
Let number of sales or product = x
Hence,
$12 * x ≥ 678
12x ≥ 678
x ≥ 678 / 12
x ≥ 56.5
To the nearest whole number = 57
