Question

Akiko has opened a new bake shop in town. Akiko sells each

cheesecake for $10 and spends $727 in rent per month. How many

cheesecakes does Akiko need to sell to make $1,053 in profits this

month?

Answer 1

Akiko must make 1053 + 727.

What is that number divided by 10?

Answer 2

profit = revenue - costs

revenue is the money he makes from selling cakes

costs are the monthly rent cots

so if they wants to make $1053 in profits...

1053 = 10x -727 where x = number of cakes sold

x =178
