Profit is the financial benefit relied when revenue generated from a business activity.

As the winning amount of the game is $145.65 and the owner has to earn the $50. Therefore the amount of the game should be the sum of winning price and the profit. Suppose x is the total money of the game played. Therefore,

[tex]x=145.65+50\\ x=195.65[/tex]

Hence the total price is $195.65. The cost of the each game is $3. Thus the number of game n to be played are,

[tex]n=\dfrac{195.65}{3} \\ n=65.21667[/tex]

Hence the number of the games must be played for the owner of the game to make at least $50 is 63.
