160000+.85n=5n
160000=4.15n
n=160000/4.15=38554.22
You need to sell 38,554.22 units to break even.
---------------------
20000x5=100000
160000+(20,000x.85)=160000+17000=177000
100000-177000=-77000
Loss of 77000
--------------------------
50000x5=250000
160000+(50000x.85)=160000+42500=202500
250000-202500=47500
Profit of 47500..
