Answer:

They need to sell 14 cakes to break even.

Step-by-step explanation:

The selling price of each cake = $ 4

The amount spent on the advertisement = $45

The cost of each cake  = 80 cents  =$ 0.8

Let us assume the number of cakes sold to BREAK EVEN  = m

⇒ For m cakes: TOTAL COST = TOTAL EARNED

Now, if the cost of 1 cake  = $0.8

So, the cost of making m cakes  = m X ( cost of 1 cake) = m x ( 0.8) = 0.8 m

Total Cost of m cakes  = Making cost + Advertisement cost

= 0.8 m + $45

⇒C = 0.8 m + 45  ........... (1)

Here, the selling price of 1 cake  = $4

So, the cost of selling m cakes  = m X ( Sell cost of 1 cake)

= m x ( 4) = 4 m

⇒S = 4 m  ........... (2)

To break even: S  = C  ⇒0.8 m + 45  =  4 m

or,  45 = 3.2 m

or, m = 45/3.2 =  14.06≈ 14

⇒ m  = 14

Hence, they need to sell 14 cakes to break even.

Order these numbers from least to greatest. 9.4061 , 9.07 , 9.007 , 9.4
klio [65]
9.4061,
9.07,
9.007,
9.4
Because ones are equal for all numbers, we are going to begin to compare from the second digits (tenths).
Greater :
9.4061 and 9.4.
Greatest is this group is 9.4061, then will go  9.4.

Smaller :
9.07 and 9.007
Greatest in this group is 9.07, and then will go 9.007.

So, from greatest to smallest : 9.4061 , 9.4 , 9.07 , 9.007.

From least to greatest :
9.007, 9.07, 9.4, 9.4061.
