Question 1156119: Please help me solve this!
Kade is starting up a small business as a tradesman. He will need to buy a truck and some
materials to get his business going. The truck costs $13 000. He gets 3 jobs immediately
and hires 2 workers to help him. The materials for all 3 jobs cost $3000. The jobs will each
take a week not including Saturday and Sunday and he pays his workers $125 per day per
worker. How much will he have to charge for each job in order to break even at the end of
the third job?

From the post's context, I should conclude that Kade himself works for free, at no pay (as a volunteer).

Is my understanding correct ?

Labor cost: 2(5)($125) Cost of Material: $3,000 Cost of truck: $13,000 Let c be cost of each job - considering they each cost the same amount - making total cost, 3c Break-even POINT: Revenue = Cost Can you now complete this?
