Answer 1

The number of lemonade glasses to sell to break even is 70

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of lemonade glasses to sell to break even is x.

Given:

I spend $45 setting up a lemonade stand. It costs $0.10 in supplies. To make each glass you charge $.75.

$= > \: 0.75x - 0.1x = 45$

$= > \: 0.65x = 45$

$= > \: x = \frac{45}{0.65}$

$= > \: x = 70$

So,the number of lemonade glasses to sell to break even is 70.

Answer 2

Given: $$45$ setting up a lemonade stand. It costs you $$0.10$ in supplies. To make each glass you charge $$0.75$

To Find: How many glasses of lemonade do you have to sell to break even.

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets,

The number of glasses of lemonade have to sell to break even is $x$.

From given,

It costs you $$0.10$ in supplies. To make each glass you charge $$0.75$.

So,

Total lemonade stand is,

                                        $=(0.75x-0.1x)$

Also, $$45$ setting up a lemonade stand,

So,

    $(0.75x-0.1x)=45$

 ⇒$0.65x=45$

 ⇒$x=\frac{45}{0.65}$

 ∴ $x=69.230$

Therefore, The number of glasses of lemonade have to sell to break even is $69.230$.
