Total money = $14,000
Sales price = $9.99
Now, 
Divide the total money by sales price and it should give you the total sales required to break the business even.
So,
total sales required = 14,000 / 9.99
                             = 1401.401401
                             = 1401
Now, lets check the answer,
total sales * sales price should equal or be greater than business amount.
So,
1401 * $9.99 = $13995.99  ==> which is less than the business price.

Now, Lets add 1 to the total sales and lets check the answer again.
(1401 + 1) * $9.99 
= 1402 * $9.99
= $14005.98

Since, it is greater than the business price, the total sales is 1402.
So, 1402 games must be sold to make the business even.

NOTE: THEORETICALLY, 1401 IS THE ANSWER BECAUSE IT IS ROUNDED TO THE NEAREST WHOLE NUMBER. BUT, PRACTICALLY 1402 IS THE ANSWER BECAUSE A BUSINESS IS EVEN IF AND ONLY IF THE TOTAL SALES IS EQUAL TO OR GREATER THAN THE BUSINESS PRICE.

Divide $14,000 by $9.99 = 1401 board games

Since we know $14,00 is how much has been spent on the board game in total, the price to make each board ($1.90) game isn't necessarily relevant.

So you take the profit made from each game and divide that from how much was spent for the board game.

A witch made two bowls of potion. The first bowl contains 28.5 ounces of potion, and the second bowl contains 3 ounces of potion
sergey [27]
3/4 ounces as a decimal is 0.75, so we can subtract 0.75 from 3, and add 0.75 to 28.5 since the witch is pouring that much from the second bowl into the first bowl.

28.5 + 0.75 = 29.25
3 - 0.75 = 2.25

To figure out how many times bigger the first bowl is to the the second bowl, we can divide the first bowl by the second bowl. This will tell us how many times the second bowl will go into the first bowl.

\frac{29.25}{2.25}=13

So the first bowl has 13 times more potion than the second bowl.
