    Jennifer spent $11.25 on ingredients for cookies shes making for the school bake sale. How many cookies must she sale at $0.35 apiece to make profit?

    Let x be the number of cookies she makes. To break even, she must sell:
    0.35x = 11.25

    Use our equation calculator, and we get:
    x = 32.14

    This means she must sell 33 cookies to make a profit.
