30 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

a)30 days

Step-by-step explanation:

For the stove to repay itself, it will have to reach the break-even point.

the costs associated with the are the cost $9000

The gains from the stove: 20 meals per night at $20.

the cost per mean is 25% of the selling price

=25/100 x 20

=0.25 x20

=$5

The profits per meal = $20 -$5 = $15

Profits for 20 meals = $15 x 20 =$300

Dairy income from the stove is $300

To recover the cost, it will take $9000/$300 days.

=30 days
