Q. Jon spent $322 on advertising to attract customers to his new pie shop. Each pie costs $11 to make, and Jon will sell them for $25 each.Which equation can you use to find p, the number of pies Jon must sell for his sales to equal his expenses?Choices:(A) 322p=25p+11(B) 25p=322+11pHow many pies must Jon sell for his sales to equal his expenses?____ pies
Set up equation: Let's set up the equation to find the break-even point for Jon's pie sales. Jon's expenses are $322, and he makes $11 per pie and sells each for $25. The profit per pie is $25−$11=$14. The equation to cover expenses is 14p=322.
Isolate p: Solve for p in the equation 14p=322. Divide both sides by 14 to isolate p: p=14322.
Calculate p: Calculate p = rac{322}{14} = 23.
