What would tortilla manufacturers have needed to do in order to make the same profit

This is the full question:

Consider this scenario. During the early 2000s, the Midwestern United States experienced a drought, or lack of rainfall. This ruined large amounts of the corn crop. Tortillas, which are made from corn, became more expensive to make. What would tortilla manufacturers have needed to do in order to make the same profit?

increase the price of tortillas

Explanation:

To put in simply:

Profit = Total sales - Total expense

Total sales : Quantity sold x Selling price.

From the excerpt, we know that the total expense for the tortillas is increased because of the drought.

Because Profit = Total sales - Total expense

the manufacturer need to increase its total sales in order to get the same amount of profit.

They can either do this by increasing the price of the product or increasing the quantity sold. But since expensive materials is what caused the problem to begin with, it is very hard for the company to increase the quanitty sold. increasing the price of tortillas is a more logical approach

A. Increase the price of tortillas.

Explanation:

freeborn women in ancient rome were citizens (cives), but could not vote or hold political office. because of their limited public role, women are named less frequently than men by roman historians. but while roman women held no direct political power, those from wealthy or powerful families could and did exert influence through private negotiations. exceptional women who left an undeniable mark on history range from lucretia and claudia quinta, whose stories took on mythic significance; fierce republican-era women such as cornelia, mother of the gracchi, and fulvia, who commanded an army and issued coins bearing her image; women of the julio-claudian dynasty, most prominently livia (58 bc-ad 29), who contributed to the formation of imperial mores; and the empress helena (c.250–330 ad), a driving force in promoting christianity.

women in the ancient greek world had few rights in comparison to male citizens. unable to vote, own land, or inherit, a woman’s place was in the home and her purpose in life was the rearing of children. this, though, is a general description, and when considering the role of women in ancient greece one should remember that information regarding specific city-states is often lacking, is almost always from male authors, and only in athens can their status and role be described in any great detail. neither are we sure of the practical and everyday application of the rules and laws that have survived from antiquity. we do know that spartan women were treated somewhat differently than in other states. for example, they had to do physical training like men, were permitted to own land, and could drink wine.
