Question 11:
Britney rents a stall to sell cakes. The rental of the stall is RM500 per month. The cost for baking a cake is RM5 per box and she sells it at RM10 per box. What is the minimum box of cakes must Britney sell each month to make a profit?
Solution:
Rental of the stall = RM500 monthly
Cost of baking a cake per box = RM5
Selling price per box = RM10
Profit per box
= RM10 – RM5
= RM5
The number of boxes of cakes to accommodate the cost
= RM500 ÷ RM5
= 100
Hence, the minimum box of cakes must Britney sell each month to make a profit = 101
