A small juice company spends $1,200 per day on business expenses plus $1.10 per bottle of juice
that they make. They charge $2.50 for each bottle of juice they produce.
How many bottles of juice must the company sell in one day in order to equal the daily costs?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The governing equation is

    1200 + 1.10*b = 2.50*b,


where b is the number of bottles.


From the equation,

    b =  = 857.14  bottles.

You may interpret my answer in any way you want.
