Answer:

2.12, rounded up to 3

Explanation:

To solve the equation, we first need to set up an equation.

Let x represent the number of scarves. We want one side of the equation to be the amount earned and the other to be the cost

45x is how much they earn since each scarf is $45

70+12x is how much they cost for rent and production

45x=70+12x

Subtract 12x from both sides

33x=70

Divide both sides by 33

x=2.12

It says we should round up so 3 scarves to break even
