Let x be the number of soaps Ginger sells.
The cost to rent the booth and make the soaps is 33.25 + 0.75x.
The revenue from selling the soaps is 2.50x.
Ginger's sales will be the same as the cost to rent the booth and make the soaps when 2.50x = 33.25 + 0.75x.
Subtracting 0.75x from both sides, we get 1.75x = 33.25.
Dividing both sides by 1.75, we get x = 19.
Therefore, after selling 19 soaps, Ginger's sales will be the same as the cost to rent the booth and make the soaps.
Ginger is selling soaps at a craft fair. It costs her
$33.25 to rent the booth at a craft fair plus $.75 to make
each soap. She sells the soaps for $2.50 each. After how
many soaps will Ginger's sales be the same as the cost to
rent the booth and make the soaps?
Make an equation with variables on both sides.
