Answer 1

910 boxes of toothpicks

Explanation:

Create an equation to represent the situation, and let x represent the number of boxes of toothpicks.

1.20x - 0.1x = 1000

1.1x = 1000

x = 909.09

Round up to the nearest whole number:

= 910

So, Ronnie would have to sell 910 boxes of toothpicks to profit $1000.
