Answer:

$465,000

Explanation:

The expressions that describe the profits for the Sanford and Orlando store are, respectively:

[tex]P_S=0.3*V-\$154,000\\P_O=0.7*V-\$340,000[/tex]

Where 'V' is the sales volume. Both stores will experience the same profits or losses when they are equal. The value of 'V' for which the expressions are equal is:

[tex]0.3*V-\$154,000=0.7*V-\$340,000\\0.4V=\$186,000\\V=\$465,000[/tex]

The sales volume at which the two stores have equal profits or losses is $465,000.
