A company that manufactures boxes recently pur-

chased $2000 worth of new equipment to offer gift
boxes to its customers. The cost of producing a package
of gift boxes is $1.50 and it is sold for $4.00. Find the
number of packages that must be sold for the company
to break even.

Answer 1

id say 800 boxes need to be made but then subtract 1.50 from $4.00 and give you $2.5 witch is the profit then divide $2000 by 2.5 and get 800
