To calculate the break-even point, we need to find out how many cups Akeem needs to sell in order to cover his costs.
The cost to make each cup of lemonade is $2.
So, Akeem's total cost for making one cup of lemonade and renting the stand is $2 + $40 = $<<2+40=42>>42.
He sells each cup of lemonade for $6.
To break even, he needs to sell enough cups to cover his total cost of $42.
Therefore, Akeem needs to sell $42/$6 = <<42/6=7>>7 cups to break even. Answer: \boxed{7}.
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)
