Question 995745: Anna makes hand-painted plates. Her overhead costs are $750 per week, and she pays an additional $10 per plate in material costs. If Anna sells the plates for $25 each, how many plates does she have to sell each week before she can make a profit?

Cost equation: C=750+10x, where x is number of plates
Revenue equation: R=25x
Set them equal
25x=750 + 10x
15x=750
x=50 plates.
That will cost her 750+500=$1250
She will get 50*25=$1250
