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.

Grace wove a potholder with an area of 80 square inches. The lengths and widths of the sides are whole numbers. Which dimensions
docker41 [41]

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the question :

Grace wove a potholder with an area of 80 square inches. The lengths and widths of the sides are whole numbers. Which dimensions make the most sense for a potholder?

Since the Area of the potholder = 80 sq inch

And the dimension of the potholder ; length and width are integers ; Hence, possible dimensions could be ;

Area = length × width

80 = length × width

(80, 1), (40, 2), (20, 4), (10, 8), (16, 5)

Potholders are fabrics sewn from the purpose of being used to handle pots and other kitchen equipments.

Usually the dimension are usually close, hence, the most sensible dimension a potholder with an area of 80 sq inch could have is 8 by 10 or vice-versa.
