They need to sell 5 pieces to cover their expenditures (have a profit of zero).
<h3>
How many cakes will they have sold?</h3>
We know that the costs are:
- $30 for the booth at the fair.
- $2 for each piece of cake they sell.
And the revenue is:
- $8 for each piece of cake.
So, the profit (the difference between the revenue and the cost) for selling x pieces is:
p(x) = $8*x - $2*x - $30
p(x) = $6*x - $30
We want to find the value of x such that p(x) = 0, then:
0 = $6*x - $30
x = $30/$6 = 5

Answer: It is about 23 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Let's call <em>x</em> the height of the mast.
2. You know that the rope is attached to a point 6 feet from the base of the mast and the rope is 24 feet long, therefore, you can draw the right triangle shown in the figure attached.
3. To calculate <em>x</em>, you must apply the Pythagorean Theorem as you can see below:

This means their angles add up to 180° which is a straight line
