How to solve a question with a constant rate of profit?

I don't think you have copied down all of the information contained within the problem.

Explanation:

#($1000)/($13)xx10=769.23#

#:.770# orders are required for the profit to exceed #$1000#

The question does not mention the rate at which the pizzeria is receiving orders so we are unable to determine the time it will take for the business to get #770# orders.

Can you double check that you have transcribed the question correctly please.

Thanks :)
