PLZZZZZZ! I NEED THIS ASAP
67 cups.
To find the least number of cups of lemonade they need to sell in order to collect $10.00 more than they spend, we can set up an equation.
Let's say they need to sell "x" cups of lemonade.
The amount of money they will collect from selling x cups of lemonade is 0.25x dollars (since they sell each cup for $0.25).
The total cost to make x cups of lemonade is 0.10x dollars (since it costs $0.10 to make each cup).
According to the question, they need to collect $10.00 more than they spend, so the equation becomes:
0.25x - 0.10x = $10.00
Simplifying the equation:
0.15x = $10.00
To solve for x, divide both sides of the equation by 0.15:
x = $10.00 / 0.15
x = 66.67
Since we can't have a fraction of a cup, they need to sell at least 67 cups of lemonade in order to collect $10.00 more than they spend.
