Winston owns a coffee cart. He charges $3.50 for a cup of coffee, and it costs him $1.50 to make each cup of coffee plus $100 a
day for other expenses. Which equation can be used to determine how many cups of coffee, c, that Winston needs to sell each day in order to break even?
So what you do is take 3.50 then subtract 1.50 to get the profit of one cup of coffee. ($2) Then you do the $100 and divide it by the $2 and find out how many cups of coffee he has to sell to get to the $100. (50)
First we calculate the tax on the item: 11.4%($160) = 11.4(160)/100 = 18.24 hence the tax for the item is $18.24 The total price for the item would be: 160 + 18.24 = 178.24 hence the total price for the item including tax is: $<span>178.24</span>
