James is selling candy at a local marketplace. he needs to earn at least $200 to break even. he has already earned $11.25. if the price of one pound of candy is $2.50, how many more pounds of candy, x, does he have to sell to break even?

75.5 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

He needs 200

He already has 11.25

He needs:

200 - 11.25 = $188.75 more

1 pound of candy costs 2.50, so x pounds would cost 2.50x

This would need to equal 188.75 (the amount he needs to break even). We can write an equation in x and solve:

James needs 75.5 pounds more to break even

answer: haha (: i’ll go see what it is

step-by-step explanation:

11.2

step-by-step explanation:

when doing tangent the tangent of the angle is equal to the opposite side from the angle over the adjacent side to the angle.

tan43 = x / 12

move 12 over by multiplying each side by 12

12tan43 = x

x = about 11.2
