Question

a pasta machine costs $33.The ingredients to make one batch of pasta cost $.33.The same amouunt of pasta puchased at a store costs $.99.How many batches of pasta will you have to make for the cost of the machine and ingrediants to eequal the cost of buying the same amount of pasta at the store?


im not sure but is it
1100 batches of pasta?

Answer 1

pastastore=pastamade
pastastore=33+.33*Numberbatches
numberbatches*.99=33+.33*number batches

.66*numberbatches=33
number batches=33/.66

check my thinking.

Answer 2

so is it 50?

Answer 3

Yep. You're right. It would take 50 batches to break even.
