You can put this solution on YOUR website!
you invest $209 to buy shirts and then sell them for 9.50 each
write a function rule to determine your profit
---
Profit = Income - Cost
P(x) = 9.50x - 209 where x is the number of shirt sold
------------------------------------------------------------
use your rule to find your profit after selling 24 shirts
P(24) = 9.50*24 - 209
P(24) = $19
--------------------------------
how many do you need to sell to get back your investment
9.50x = 209
x = 22 shirts must be sold to break even
