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;
Solving this:
She must sell 200 muffins in a day to break even.
Answer:
x=8
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
3/14
Step-by-step explanation:
5/7 minus 1/2 is 5/7 - 1/2
5/7 and 1/2 are both called proper fractions. 5 and 1 in each fraction are called the numerator while 7 and 2 are called denominators
5/7 - 1/2
Step one
Find the lowest common multiple (LCM) of the denominators of each fractions
Multiples of 7
7 x 1 = 7
7 x 2 = 14
7 x 3 = 21
Multiples of 2
2 x 1 = 2
2 x 2 = 4
2 x 3 = 6
2 x 4 = 8
2 x 5 = 10
2 x 6 = 12
2 x 7 = 14
The lowest common multiple of 2 and 7 is 14
Step 2
The LCM of 2 and 7 becomes the common denominator for both fractions.
14/7 = 2
14/2 = 7
5/7 - 1/2 = [2(5) - 7(1)]/14 = (10 - 7)/14
= 3/14
