"Write and solve an equation to determine how many servings of this item ...exactly 45 grams of cholesterol"...
The variable in this equation would be the amount of servings she can eat of the items.
Lets represent this as
; =amount of servings
The item has 30 mg of cholesterol and she wants to only consume 45 mg.
The equation would be:
Solve for x.
Divide both sides by 30.
Simplify.
Alisa can consume 1.5 servings of the item each day.
Hope this helps.

Given:
Candy bars are sold in a local store for 60 cents each. The factory has $1000 in fixed costs plus 10 cents of additional expense for each candy bar made.
To Find:
The break-even point.
Answer:
2000 candy bars have to be sold to break even.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the break-even point be x candy bars. That is, the manufacturing cost to make x candy bars equals the money made by selling x candy bars (we see there is no profit, no loss. Simply, the cost price equals selling price).
The factory has to spend $1000 in fixed costs plus 10 cents for each candy bar as an additional expense.
As each dollar equals 100 cents, $1000 = 100000 cents, which is the fixed cost.
Also, for making x candy bars, the additional expense for the factory would be equal to 10x.
So, the total cost in manufacturing x candy bars would be 100000 + 10x
Now, each candy bar is sold for 60 cents each. So the total selling price would be 60x.
As we have assumed x to be the break-even point, the cost of manufacturing will equal the selling price.
So,
Thus, 2000 candy bars have to be sold to break even.
