document.write( "Question 234888: a hotdog stand can purchase hot dogs for $0.35 each and buns for $0.20 each. It has fixed costs of $50 and each hotdog sells for $1.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "1. write a linear equation for cost and revenue
\n" ); document.write( "2. determine break even point\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "price $1.00 - cost $0.55 means a profit of $0.45 each
\n" ); document.write( "so I think you would take the fixed cost of $50 and divide it by the profit $.045 to come up with a break even point of 111 hotdogs???????\r

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
I'll graph the Cost and Revenue
\n" ); document.write( "The graph will have number of hotdogs sold, \"n\" on the x-axis
\n" ); document.write( "Revenue, \"r\" and also cost, \"c\" are plotted on the y-axis
\n" ); document.write( "The cost of making \"n\" hotdogs is
\n" ); document.write( "\"c+=+.35n+%2B+.2n+%2B+50\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"c+=+.55n+%2B+50\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"r+=+1%2An\"
\n" ); document.write( "Plotting these 2 lines on the same graph, the profit
\n" ); document.write( "is always \"r+-+c\", which is the vertical distance
\n" ); document.write( "between the 2 lines
\n" ); document.write( "The break-even point is where the lines meet, or when \"r+=+c\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+graph%28+400%2C+400%2C+-20%2C+200%2C+-20%2C+200%2C+.55x+%2B+50%2C+x%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "At \"r+=+c\", \"n+=+.55n+%2B+50\"
\n" ); document.write( "\".45n+=+50\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"n+=+111\"
\n" ); document.write( "Cost and Revenue are both $111 also
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
