Question

Johnny makes wooden benches to sell. His advertising costs are $150 per month and each bench costs him $100 to make. If he sells each bench for $175, how many benches must he sell to break even each month?

Answer 1

he needs to at least sell 2 benches to make a profit

Answer 2

lets say he needs to sell x branches then he will consume for a month
150+x.100$ and he will sell it for 175$then he will get 175x $ for a month.
If 150+100x=175x he will break
150=75x
x=2

Answer 3

2 or 1 depending on how many months

Answer 4

question says each month so 2

Answer 5

150 + 100x = 175x
150 = 175x - 100x
150 = 75x
150/75 = x
2 = x

I agree...he has to sell 2 benches per month to break even
