Loss = Cost - Revenue

Selling price is the same thing as revenue. What I'd do is for example A

9n = 150 + 6n
9n - 6n = 150
n = 50

Because 60>50(the point of break even), selling 60 mugs would yield a profit. So A isn't right. The correct answer would have to be you selling 'n' number of mugs that is less than the point of break even.

Like Yacoubb said, you just need to try all alternatives and find via trial and error

Really dislike these questions, very time consuming
