Question 948534: At the local ballpark, the team charges $5 for each ticket and expects to make $1,100 in concessions. The team

Since we are trying to break even, all the cost must be equal to the earnings.
Let X = number of tickets.
Total Cost =
Total Earnings =
Now set those two equations equal to each other and solve for X

Subtract 1100 from both sides}}}

Subtract 3X from both sides.

Divide both sides by 2

900 tickets must be sold to break even.
