Who can loss this question for me?

You run a hovercraft factory. Your factory makes ten hovercrafts in a month. Given the number of customers you got that month, did you make a profit? It costs you 2,000,000 to build a hovercraft, and you are selling them for 3,000,000. You also pay 1,000,000 each month for insurance. Task: Determine whether or not you made a profit based on how many of the ten hovercrafts you were able to sell that month. Input Format: An integer that represents the sales that you made that month.

Please tag the relevant programming language. If it is a sololearn task, please mention the course/ task name. What have you tried? Please link your code attempt, so we can help you to solve it yourself.

Can you explain your logic with that first if condition? How can something be greater or equal to 8 AND also be equal to 10? That will almost always return false unless the number is exactly 10.

Why not just say if greater than or equal to 8 is a profit? I'm not understanding the need for the two conditions.

Make sure that the output strings match exactly the ones in the task description: it is "Broke Even"

No problem. Sometimes you just have to question your own logic with things, which is why Duck-Debugging works well. 👍🏾
