Ms. Snow spends Php 21 to buy an apple at a local market. She rents a space for Php 840 daily and sells the apples for Php 35 per piece.

1. If Ms. Snow can sell 50 apples a day, how much is her total daily revenue?

2. If Ms. Snow can sell 50 apples a day, how much is her total cost?

3. If Ms. Snow can sell 50 apples a day, did the store achieve profit, loss, or break-even? 4. If she did not achieve break-even, how much is her profit/loss?

5. How many apples should she sell to achieve break-even?

Let's go through each question step-by-step to find the answers.

### 1. Total Daily Revenue
Ms. Snow sells the apples for Php 35 each and sells 50 apples a day. Her total daily revenue is:

\[
\text{Total Revenue} = 35 \, \text{Php/apple} \times 50 \, \text{apples} = 1,750 \, \text{Php}
\]

So, her total daily revenue is **Php 1,750**.

### 2. Total Daily Cost
Ms. Snow buys apples at Php 21 each and rents a space for Php 840 per day. Let's calculate her total daily cost:

- **Cost of apples**:  
  \[
  \text{Cost of apples} = 21 \, \text{Php/apple} \times 50 \, \text{apples} = 1,050 \, \text{Php}
  \]

- **Daily rent**:  
  \[
  \text{Rent} = 840 \, \text{Php}
  \]

- **Total daily cost**:  
  \[
  \text{Total Cost} = 1,050 \, \text{Php} \, (\text{apples}) + 840 \, \text{Php} \, (\text{rent}) = 1,890 \, \text{Php}
  \]

So, her total daily cost is **Php 1,890**.

---

### 3. Profit, Loss, or Break-even
Now, let's compare Ms. Snow's total revenue to her total cost:

\[
\text{Profit or Loss} = \text{Total Revenue} - \text{Total Cost} = 1,750 \, \text{Php} - 1,890 \, \text{Php} = -140 \, \text{Php}
\]

Since the result is negative, Ms. Snow made a **loss** of **Php 140**.

---

### 4. Profit or Loss Amount
As calculated in the previous step, Ms. Snow made a loss. The amount of the loss is **Php 140**.

---

### 5. Break-even Point
To achieve break-even, her total revenue must equal her total cost. Let \( x \) be the number of apples she needs to sell to break even.

- Revenue per apple: Php 35
- Cost per apple: Php 21 (plus rent of Php 840)

The equation to break even is:

\[
35x = 21x + 840
\]

Solving for \( x \):

\[
35x - 21x = 840
\]
\[
14x = 840
\]
\[
x = \frac{840}{14} = 60
\]

So, Ms. Snow needs to sell **60 apples** to break even.
