Unless you have typos, Dalton only has to sell one painting to break even.
1 + 53 = 54
With later paintings sold, he will make a measly profit of $1 per painting.
I would suggest that he got another job or charge more for each painting.
Dalton, an artist, plans to paint and sell some miniature paintings. He just bought some brushes for $1, and paint and canvas for each painting costs $53; he will sell each painting for $54. Once Dalton sells a certain number of his paintings, he will be breaking even. How many paintings will that be? How much will Dalton have earned?
