Question

Ashley opened a lemonade stand on her street. It costs her $12.50 to buy the supplies each day, and she sells lemonade for $2.50 a cup. If she wants to make at least $200.00 in profits (sales - expenses) each day, what is the minimum number of cups of lemonade Ashley needs to sell? Input your answer as a whole number.

Answer 1

x= 75

Explanation:

Subtract sales - expenses

200 - 12.5 = 187.5

2.5x = 187.5

Divide by 2.5 on both sides

187.5/2.5

x = 75
