Annah Korotkin is the sole proprietor of CoverMeUp, a business that designs and sews outdoor clothing for dogs. Each year, she rents a booth at the regional Pet Expo and sells only blankets. Korotkin views the Expo as primarily a marketing tool and is happy to breakeven (that is, cover her booth rental). For the last 3 years, she has sold exactly enough blankets to cover the $750 booth rental fee. This year, she decided to make all blankets for the Expo out of high-tech waterproof/breathable material that is more expensive to produce, but that she believes she can sell for a higher profit margin. Information on the two types of blankets is as follows:
Assuming that Korotkin remains most interested in covering the booth cost (which has increased to $840), how many more or fewer blankets (new style) does she need to sell to cover the booth cost? To cover this year’s booth costs, Korotkin needs to sell: A. 42 fewer blankets than last year. B. 30 fewer blankets than last year. C. 42 more blankets than last year. |
