The one-time fixed costs will amount to $41,088. The variable costs will be $9.75 per book. The publisher will sell the finished product to bookstores at a price of $21.75 per book. How many books must the publisher print and sell so that the production costs will equal the money obtained from sales?
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Cost = 41,088 + 9.75x where x is the number of books
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Revenue = 21.75x
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Solve: cost = Revenue
\n" ); document.write( "41088 + 9.75x = 21.75x
\n" ); document.write( "41088 = 12x
\n" ); document.write( "x = 3424 books
