Akeem wants to have a lemonade stand at the community fair. It costs him $2 to make each cup of lemonade plus a $40 renter's fee for the stand. He sells the lemonade for $6 per cup. How many cups does Akeem have to sell to break even?(1 point)

Answer 1

To break even, Akeem needs to earn back his initial investment of $40 plus the cost to make the lemonade, which is $2 per cup.

Let's call the number of cups he needs to sell "x".

His total earnings will equal his total costs:

6x = 2x + 40

Subtracting 2x from both sides, we get:

4x = 40

Dividing both sides by 4, we get:

x = 10

Therefore, Akeem needs to sell 10 cups of lemonade to break even.
