Answer 1

Answer:

Weekly Expense=$234

Required Quantity of Sales to Cover Weekly expenses=32.5 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Sales Price per kilogram =$7.20

Quantity of sales = 90 kg

Weekly Total Sales = $7.20 X 90 =$648

Weekly Profit=$414

Therefore her Weekly Expense= Weekly Total Sale- Weekly Profit=648-414=$234

Since 1 kg costs $7.20, to cover her weekly expenses she has to sell:

$234/7.20 = 32.5 kg
