The business must pay the investor $550 every time the machine is used. If the business charges $2000 for each use, what is the minimun number of times it must be used in order for the business to make a profit?
Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let = number of times machine is used

is income from each use
I need to find the break-even point

So, the machine must be used 35 times to make a profit
