Question

I NEED HELP ASAP (A new pizza shop opened up and started out$5,344.46 in the hole. Their first month being open they sold 61 pizzas ($3.06 profit each) and 89 sodas ($1.42 profit each). Thier bills for the first month were $1,208.01. How much money do they still need to make to break even?

Answer 1

$894.97 is needed more to break even

Explanation:

In this question, we want to know how much money the pizza shop need so that their profits will equal their expenses.

Let’s calculate their profit

This can be calculated from the pizza sales

That would be;

61(3.06) + 89(1.42) = $186.66 + $126.38 = $313.04

Now, given that their bills for the first month is $1,208.01, the amount still needed to break even would be the amount of their bills minus the profit made from selling soda and pizza

That would be 1,208.01 - 313.04 = $894.97
