.


60 cents = 0.6 of a dollar.


10 cents = 0.1 of a dollar.


The break-even equation is


     1000 + 0.1x = 0.6x.


Simplify and solve for x, which is the number of the made and sold candy bars.


    1000 = 0.6x - 0.1x

    1000 = 0.1x

    x    =  = 10,000.


ANSWER.  Break-even point is 10,000 candies.

Solved.
