Sid and Libby are planning to sell pies at a local fair.
=> $200 to rent a table at the fair.<span>
=>  $3.00 per pie </span>costs for ingredients, other supplies, baking, and packaging<span>
They plan to sell the pies for $8 each. 
Let's find out how many pies will they be selling inorder to gain profit
=> 200 + 3.00(n) = 8(n), where n is the number of pie.
Let's try 40
=> 200 + 3(40) = 8 (40)
=> 320 = 320 
</span>=> 200 + 3(41) = 8 (41)
=> 323 = 328
<span>Thus, in their 41st pie, they will get a profit
