Answer:

id say 800 boxes need to be made but then subtract 1.50 from $4.00 and give you $2.5 witch is the profit then divide $2000 by 2.5 and get 800

Explanation:

since there was $2000 used to buy the equipment you would have to divide that by $1.50 and come up with 1333 gift boxes witch would make $5332 to find the amount it would take
