Eva and Sophia rent a booth at a local market every Sunday and sell T-shirts.
It cost them $20 to make EACH shirt and $400 to rent at the booth.
If they sell shirts for $30 each what is their break even point?

    30x = 20x + 400   dollars.


    30x - 20x = 400

        10x = 400

          x = 400/10 = 40  T-shirts.    ANSWER
