Answer:
200 muffins
Step-by-step explanation:
The selling price of each muffin = $2
The cost price of each muffin = $1.40
The price of electricity = $120
If the number of muffins that Jenny sells in a day is x, then, Jenny's total cost in a day is:
120 + (1.4 * x) = 120 + 1.4x
and the total sales earnings in a day for x muffins will be:
2 * x = 2x
To break even, the total costs in a day must equal to the total earnings. That is;
Solving this:
She must sell 200 muffins in a day to break even.
