suppose your club is selling candles to raise money. It costs $100 to rent a booth from which to sell the candles.If the candles cost your club $1 each and are sold $5, how many candles must be sold to equal to your expenses?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Number pf candles is equal to 25

Explanation:

We have given cost of rent = $100

Cost price of one candle = $1

And selling price of one candle = $5

Let the number of candles = x

So total expense [tex]=100+x\times 1=100+x[/tex]

Total earning [tex]=5\times x=5x[/tex]

According to question expense is equal to earning

So [tex]100+x=5x[/tex]

[tex]4x=100[/tex]

x = 25

So number pf candles is equal to 25
