Nick plans to start a home-base business producing and selling gourmet dog treats. he figures it will cost $20 in operating costs per week plus $0.50 to produce each treat. he planet to sell each treat for $1.50. how many treats does nick need to sell per week to break even?

20 treat.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Operation cost= $20 per week.

          Cost to produce each treat= $0.50

          Selling price= $1.50

Lets assume the total number of treat in a week be "x".

Cost of production =

⇒ Cost of production=

∴ Total cost of production per week is

Total selling price=

⇒ Total selling price=

Break even is a point of business where cost of production is equal to total selling price.

∴ Forming an equation to have CP= SP ( Break even)

=

Subtracting both side by 0.50x

⇒

⇒

∴ x= 20

Hence, Nick need to sell 20 treat per week to break even the business.
