Mrs. ramiriz is making pies to sell at the local farmer’s market. it costs her $5 to make each pie, plus a one-time cost of $30 for baking supplies. she plans to sell the pies for $12 each. which equation can be used to find the number of pies she needs to sell to break even?

We are given with costs of baking a pie equal to $5 per pie and a fixed cost of $30. The selling price is $12 per pie. The break even point is the state where the total costs is equal to the revenue. The equation hence is 5x +30 = 12 x where x is the number of pies needed to break even. x is equal to 4.29 pies or rounded to 5 pies. Answer is 5 pies.
