How many widgets does Bruce need to sell each month in order to make a profit .

Question

Bruce owns a business that produces widgets. He must bring in more in revenue than he pays out in costs in order to turn a profit. It costs $10 in labor materials to make each of his widgets, his rent each month for his factory is $4000, and he sells each widget for $25. How many widgets does Bruce need to sell each month to make a profit specifically?

Answer 1

Let it be x widfets he needs to sell in order to make a profit.

10x +4000 = 25x

4000 =15x

x= 266.67 =267

so he needs to sell 267 widgets each month to make a profit.
