Now suppose Elijah offers a discount on subsequent rooms for each house, such that he charges $40 for his frist room, $35 for his second, and $25 for each room thereafter. Assume 30% of his clients have only one room cleaned, 25% have two rooms cleaned, 30% have three rooms cleaned, and the remaining 15% have four rooms cleaned.  How many houses will he have to clean before breaking even? If taxes are 25% of profits, how many rooms will he have to clean before making $15,000 profit?                           Answer the question by making a CVP worksheet similar to the depreciation sheets. Make sure it works well, uses cell references and functions/formulas when appropriate, and looks nice.
