Question 94553
Suppose your club is selling candles to raise money.  It costs $100 to rent a booth from which to sell the candles.  If the candlles cost your club $1 each and are sold for $5 each, how many must be sold to equal your expenses?


Rent of the booth = $100

selling rice of the candle = $5


Number of candles to be sold to meet the expenses = Rent of the booth/selling price of the candle


Candles to be sold = $100/$5

                   = 20

20 candles has to be sold to meet the expenses.
