Using the equation, the amount of ribbon she needs to sell to break even is 50 ribbons.

<h3>How to represent system of equation and solve?</h3>

x = number of ribbons

y = expenses or revenue

Therefore, the system of equation for this situation is as follows;

y(expenses) = 23 + 0.04x

y = 23 + 0.04x

He charges $0.50 per ribbon. Therefore,

y(revenue) = 0.50x

y = 0.50x

Therefore, for her to break even,

23 + 0.04x = 0.50x

23 = 0.46x

x = 23 / 0.46

x = 50

Therefore, she needs to sell 50 ribbons for her to break even.

Calculate the missing angle and give a reason for your answer
Vanyuwa [196]

Step-by-step explanation:

the triangle is an isosceles triangle hence the base angles are equal

sum of angles in a triangle is 180°, therefore, the top angle =180-(62+62)

the top angle =56°

h°= the top angle because alternate angles are equal

hence, h=56°
