Students at Hammond Middle school are raising money for the end-of-the-year school party. They decide to sell roses for Valentines Day. The students can buy the roses for 50 cents each from a wholesaler. They also need $60 to buy ribbon and paper to protect the roses as well as materials for advertising the sale. They sell each rose for $1.30
a.) How many roses must they sell to break even?
B. How much profit is there if they sell 50 roses? 100 roses? 200 roses?

please show work if possible. PLEASE and THANKS!

Ok, so I know there are several ways to solve this but the way I did it is $1.30 is the price of a rose but each rose is 50 cents so now it's .80 cents so you divide $60.00 by .80 cents which is 75. They must sell 75 roses to break even.
If they only sold 50, it would be a -$20 profit
Assuming that they don't have to buy more supplies, for every 25 roses that they sell after breaking even, it would be a $20 profit(25÷.80cents=$20) So selling 100 roses is a +$20 profit(75 to break even and an extra 25 roses sold at a profit) So selling 200 roses is a $100 profit( 75 to break even and 125 roses sold at a profit)
