Step-by-step explanation:
Let that number be . We can build an equation, and solve for
.
less than half of
is
.
more than
is
.
We are given that the two quantities are equal, so we have that .
Adding to both sides gives
.
Multiplying both sides by gives
.
Subtracting from both sides gives

Answer:
500 boxes
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>hey there,</em>
<em />
< Since "p" stands for profits, change "p" to 0 (since the question says 0 profits).
Here is how your equation would look like:
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 <em>either </em>because it is a negative!! >
