Answer:

200 muffins

Step-by-step explanation:

The selling price of each muffin = $2

The cost price of each muffin = $1.40

The price of electricity = $120

If the number of muffins that Jenny sells in a day is x, then, Jenny's total cost in a day is:

120 + (1.4 * x) = 120 + 1.4x

and the total sales earnings in a day for x muffins will be:

2 * x = 2x

To break even, the total costs in a day must equal to the total earnings. That is;

2x =  120 + 1.4x

Solving this:

2x - 1.4x = 120\\\\\\0.6x = 120\\\\\\x = 120/0.6\\\\\\x = 200

She must sell 200 muffins in a day to break even.
