it costs a restaurant owner $0.28 per glass of orange juice, which sells $1.75 per glass. how many glasses of orange juice must the owner sell to make a profit of $2058.
please help me solve this!
Let number of glasses to earn a $2,058 profit, be N

Revenue from selling N glasses at $1.76 per glass: 1.75N

Since cost of each glass = $0.28, then total cost = 0.28(N), or .28N

Revenue, less cost, equals profit, OR

1.75N - .28N = 2,058

1.47N = 2,058

N, or number of glasses to be sold to realize $2,058 profit = 2058%2F1.47,   or highlight_green%281400%29

You can do the check!!
