#1 In its business plan, a new restaurant predicts that the average amount each customer will spend per visit is $45. The average cost of ingredients per customer will be $22. The overhead cost to run the restaurant will be $12,000 per week. Find the number of customers that must be served each week to break even.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = number of customers
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "\"revenue\" - \"cost\" - \"overhead\" = \"profit\"
\n" ); document.write( "Since we want to \"break-even\": \"profit\"=0
\n" ); document.write( "\"revenue\" = 45x
\n" ); document.write( "\"cost\" = 22x
\n" ); document.write( "\"overhead\" = 12000
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Your formula:
\n" ); document.write( "45x - 22x - 12000 = 0
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
