Answer:
360
Step-by-step explanation:
Sam obtains a "contribution margin" of $0.50 -0.25 = $0.25 per cookie. That will cover the cost of baking supplies when he sells ...
$90 / ($0.25/cookie) = 360 cookies
Sam needs to sell 360 cookies before he can start making a profit.
_____
If you like, you can find Sam's break-even point by equating revenue and cost. The is the number of cookies Sam must sell for a profit of 0, that is, for non-negative profit.
P = R - C
0 = R - C
R = C
0.50n = 90 +0.25n
0.25n = 90 . . . . subtract 0.25n
n = 90/0.25 = 360 . . . .divide by the coefficient of n
You may notice this is similar to our description above.
38/6 = 19/3
divide 19 by 3 :-
= 6.333....
The 3 is recurring
First find the radius by taking half the diameter. Use the radius to find the base area by using the formula for the area of a circle. Find the product of the base area and height, and then take one-third of the product.
P is dependent and 2b is independent
