Question

Write a system of equations to describe the situation below, solve using any method, and fill in the blanks.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

we need to find the number n of sold boxes, so that the income (sales) and costs (expenditures) are equal. this is called the break even point. any more boxes sold will then result in a profit, actually gaining money. and if she cannot reach that number of sold boxes, then she will make a loss.

so,

n×11 = n×3 + 24

n×8 = 24

n = 3

it will take 3 sold boxes of cards to break even.

at that point she will have spent $24 + 3×$3 = $33, and her sales will be 3×$11 = $33.
