suppose your club is selling candles to raise money. It costs $100 to rent a spot to sell the candles. If the candles cost your club $1 each and are being sold for $5 each, how many candles must be sold to equal the expenses?
----------
Expenses: 100 + 1x where x is the number of candles sold
---
Earnings: 5x where x is the number of candles sold
--------------------
Equation:
Expenses = Earnings
100 + x = 5x
4x = 100
x = 25 (# of candles you need to sell)
