Question 998958: Explain why a company has to sell 100 soccer balls before they will make a profit. The cost of producing a soccer ball is modeled by C =
10x + 1000. The sales price of a soccer ball is $20.

If you calculate the cost of producing 100 soccer balls, you get
C(100) = 10(100) + 1000 = $2000
To recoup that $2000, they would need to sell 100 balls at $20 each,
because 100($20) = $2000.
