Answer:

500 boxes

Explanation:

hey there,

< Since "p" stands for profits, change "p" to 0 (since the question says 0 profits).

Here is how your equation would look like:


0 = -n^2 + 300n + 100000

Pretend like "n" is "x" since that is the variable we are trying to find here.

Solve for "n". Move all terms to the left side and set equal to zero. Then set each factor equal to zero.

"n" actually ends up equaling 500, -200.

Obviously, negative can't be the answer because you can't have a negative amount of boxes. So 500 boxes would be your answer. 200 CAN'T be your answer either because it is a negative!! >

Hope this helped! Feel free to ask anything else.
