Question

Dylan recently started a high end dog biscuit bakery. She found a storefront location for her store that cost her $36,000 and on the ingredients for her dog biscuits (a super secret recipe) cost $1.10 per biscuit. If she plans on selling the dog biscuits for $7.50 a piece, how many biscuits will she have to sell before she breaks even?

Answer 1

She would have to sell 5625 dog biscuits.

7.50 · 5625 = 42,187.50

1.10 · 5625 = 6,187.50

6,187.5 + 36,000 = 42,187.50
