Frank makes and sells small picture frames.
His revenue from sales can be represented as R= $13.60x for x frames sold.
The cost of making the frames can be represented as C= $5.80x + $120 for x frames made.
Determine the minimum number of frames Frank must make and sell in order for his revenue to be greater than his costs.
:
Find x where Rev is greater than cost;
R > C
13.60x > 5.80x + 120
13.60x - 5.80x > 120
7.8x > 120
x >
x > 15.4 frames
Therefore we can say he has to sell 16 frame to exceed his cost
;
We can prove this to ourselves:
13.6(16) = $217.60 is the revenue
5.8(16) + 120 = $212.80 is the cost, slightly less

That's not hard to understand is it?
