Question
A local bakery is considering adding a new line of pies. This will require leasing new equipment at a monthly cost of 2 to produce each new pie, and the expected retail price is 555 (Round up to the nearest whole dollar)
Solution
To calculate the number of pies that need to be sold to realize a profit of $555, we need to first understand the costs and revenue per pie.
-
Calculate the profit per pie: The profit per pie is the retail price minus the cost to produce each pie. So, 2 (cost per pie) = $7 profit per pie.
-
Calculate the total cost: The total cost includes the cost of leasing the equipment and the desired profit. So, 555 (desired profit) = $5,245 total cost.
-
Calculate the number of pies: To find out how many pies need to be sold, divide the total cost by the profit per pie. So, 7 (profit per pie) = 749.29 pies.
Since we can't sell a fraction of a pie, we need to round up to the nearest whole number. Therefore, the bakery needs to sell 750 pies to realize a profit of $555.
