We know that:
Profit = Revenue - Cost
Let us say x number of candies are made per week.
Finding Cost per week:
Cost of making 1 bar = 0.15
Cost of making x bars = 0.15x
Fixed rate of making candies per week = 600
Total cost of making x candies per week = 600 + 0.15x
Now let us find Revenue:
Selling price of each bar = 1.50
Selling price of x bars = 1.50x
Now we have to find profit,
Profit = Revenue - Cost
In order to have profit Revenue - Cost >0
So plugging values of revenue and cost to get number of candies,




x>444.44
Rounding off
x>444
Answer: The company must sell greater than 444 candies in order to make profit.

Answer:
A(x) = 20000(0.88)^x
Step-by-step explanation:
The general form of these exponential equations is ...
A(x) = a·b^x
where 'a' is the initial value, and b is the annual growth factor. x is the elapsed time in years.
The growth factor is ...
growth factor = 1 + growth rate
Here, the growth rate per year is -12%, so the growth factor is ...
b = 1 -12% = 88% = 0.88
Of course, the initial value is a=20,000, so the equation is ...
A(x) = 20000(0.88)^x
