I am planning to open a bakery and sell bread. My fixed costs for the bakery total $200,000. If I sell my bread for $6 and I use up $1 worth of ingredients baking each loaf, how many loaves do I have to bake to break even

Answer:

40000

Step-by-step explanation:

I got this answer by 200000 ÷ 5 because the loafs caused one dollar to make and sell for six dollars.

It equals 40000 therefore 40000 loafs are needed to be made to even up with the cost it takes to fix the bakery.
