Question 1012364: Kasim has just opened a new computer store. He made 43$ on each computer he sold. The monthly expenses is 10000$. What is minimum number of computer must he sell to gain profit in a month?

Call the number of computers he needs to sell, x.
Then, since he earns $43 per computer sold, we have
43x > 10000
Now divide by 43 and get
x > 232.56
which means he needs to sell 233 computers to make a profit.
