Question 832172: The cost to produce one compact disc is $1.75 plus a one-time fixed cost of $2500. The revenue received from selling one compact disc is $12.
Write a formula that gives the cost C of producing x compact discs. Be sure to include the fixed cost.
Write a formula that gives the revenue R from selling x compact discs.

PROFITABILITY occurs when Revenue is greater than Cost. Write an inequality representing the point at which PROFITABILITY is achieved.
Solve the inequality from part �c� to find how many compact discs must be sold to reach PROFITABILITY.

The cost to produce a disk is:
2500 + 1.75x = C
That's the fixed cost + the variable cost.
How much can you make?
R = 12x - (2500+1.75x)
You can also write it as
R = 12x - c
.
When does cost equal revenue? Let's find out
The profit on each disk is $12-1.75 or $10.25
When does that meet the fixed cost of 2500?
Divide 2500 / 10.25
Since you don't sell part of a disk, round up.
2500/10.25= ~244
