So, we need to find out how many pastels Leo has to sell so that he's made at least $300.

If each pastel costs $4 to make, and they sell for $10, that's a $6 profit for each pastel. So, we can set up an equation as follows:

6x = 300, where x is the number of pastels multiplied by the profit amount per pastel.

x = 50

So, after the 50th pastel, Leo will start to gain.
