Question

Lorelle pays someone $35 to clear her driveway when it snows. She wants to buy an electric snow blower for $689 so that she can clear her own driveway. If the area Lorelle lives in has an average of 5.2 snowfalls each season, how many seasons will it take her to break even on what she spends for the snow blower?

Answer 2

It would take 20 sessions to break even on what she spends for the snow blower.

The cost of the snow blower is $689, hence:

Cost = $689

Let x represent the number of sessions, Since $35 is paid to clear the driveway, hence:

Revenue = 35x

At breakeven:

Cost = Revenue

35x = 689

x = 20 (to nearest whole number)

Hence it would take 20 sessions to break even on what she spends for the snow blower.
