let x represent the number of calculators
fixed costs = 650,000
variable cost = 47 each
C= 650,000+47x
Sales = 63x
To make a profit
sales > costs
63x>650,000+47x
63x-47x>650,000
16x>650,000
/16
x>650000/16
it has to sell more than 40625 to make a profit.
For break even
sales = cost
it will break even at 40625 calculators
