    The formula to get the correct answer to question is this:

    1.) To get the total cost of goods bought:

    ((100 key chains) x ($0.25 purchasing cost)) + ($8 shipping rate) = $33

    Which means each key chain essentially costs $0.33 each

    2.) To get the number of units they should sell to make profit:

    Breakeven = Costs/Price meaning $33/$2 = 16.5

    They should sell 16.5 units to make a profit.
