Find the equation for $\"P\"$ = profit
\n" ); document.write( "and find $\"P=0\"$ , the break even point
\n" ); document.write( "Let $\"t\"$ = number of T-shirts sold
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+P+=+1099t+-+%28+28000+%2B+399t+%29+\"$ ( in cents )
\n" ); document.write( "Set $\"+P=0+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+0+=+1099t+-+%28+28000+%2B+399t+%29+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+1099t+=+28000+%2B+399t+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+1099t+-+399t+=+28000+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+700t+=+28000+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+t+=+40+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "They must sell 40 T-shirts to break even \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
