Hello mate!

We know that Xavier spent $84 on art supplies. For each painting, he spends $1 on the canvas and sells each paint for $8.

The proffit equation is:

Q(p) = ($8 -$1)p - $84 = $7p - $84

where p is the number of paintings that he sells.

If we want to obtain the number of paintings that he needs to sell in order to break even, we need to calculate:

Q(p) = 0 = $7p - $84

$7p = $84

p = 84/7 = 12

He needs to sell 12 paints to break even.

$4

step-by-step explanation:

$30×5=$150

$150 minus $130=$20

$20÷5=$4.
