Sid and Libby are planning to sell pies at a local fair.

=> $200 to rent a table at the fair.

=> $3.00 per pie costs for ingredients, other supplies, baking, and packaging

They plan to sell the pies for $8 each.

Let's find out how many pies will they be selling inorder to gain profit

=> 200 + 3.00 (n) = 8 (n), where n is the number of pie.

Let's try 40

=> 200 + 3 (40) = 8 (40)

=> 320 = 320

=> 200 + 3 (41) = 8 (41)

=> 323 = 328

Thus, in their 41st pie, they will get a profit
