The table shows the annual profits (in thousands of dollars) of a county fair from 2008 to 2012. what must the 2012 profit be (in hundreds of dollars) to break even over the five-year period?

In year 2012, 0.45 thousands dollars will bring the break even for the company.

Step-by-step explanation:

The table shows the annual profits of a county fair from 2008 to 2012.

We have to calculate the profit in 2012 to get the break even over the five year period.

Total profit in four years = profit in year (2008 + 2009) = 2.5 + 1.75 = 4.25 thousand dollars

Total loss in four years = loss in year (2010 + 2011) = 3.3 + 1.4 = 4.7 thousand dollars

Net profit or loss = Net profit - net loss = 4.25 - 4.7 = -0.45

There is a net loss of 0.45 thousand dollars.

If we get a profit of 0.45 thousand dollars in year 2012, we will be in the situation of no profit and no loss (break even).

Therefore, profit of 0.45 thousands of dollars is the answer.

answer: t=3
