document.write( "Question 1101637: The booster club sets up a hot dog stand for fundraising at a middle school. The club receives $14 in donations while members set up the stand. The club sells hot dogs for $1.50. Each hot dog costs the club $0.25 and other supplies cost $54. The club wants to know how many hot dogs they must sell to break even (breaking even occurs when income equals expenses) Write an equation that represents this situtation, where H represents the number of hot dogs sold. Then solve the equation. \n" ); document.write( "

Let \"+h+\" = number of hot dogs sold
\n" ); document.write( "Let \"+C+\" = their total cost for \"+h+\" hot dogs sold
\n" ); document.write( "\"+C+=+.25h+%2B+54+\"
\n" ); document.write( "Let \"+R+\" = revenue from sales of \"+h+\" hot dogs
\n" ); document.write( "\"+R+=+1.5h+%2B+14+\"
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------
\n" ); document.write( "The break even point is where \"+C+=+R+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+.25h+%2B+54+=+1.5h+%2B+14+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+1.25h+=+40+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+h+=+32+\"
\n" ); document.write( "----------------
\n" ); document.write( "32 hot dogs must be sold in order
\n" ); document.write( "to break even
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
