Situation
Income and Cost
You will sell each batch of cupcakes for 6$ each. Also, you will make exactly 30$ each day regardless of the number of cupcakes you sell. You get that extra money because you let the theater next door place a poster in your store window, so they pay you the 30$ for letting them advertise.
However, it costs money to make cupcakes. To run your electricity and pay your employees, it will cost you 250$ each day. Also, it costs money for the ingredients that you need to make the cupcakes. For every batch of cupcakes, you will spend .50 on ingredients.
