A manufacturer has total revenue given by the function R=130x and has total cost given by c=293,000 + 20x where x is the number of units produced and sold.
You probably want to know how many units need to be sold to break even.
----------------------------------
Round to the nearest whole unit.
--------------
Break-even occurs when revenue = cost
130x = 293,000+20x
110x = 293,000
x = 2664 units when rounded up
