Re: Ridgemont High School is paying $13,200 for the writing and reasurch of their yearbook plus a printing fee of $25 per book. if they sell the books for $40 dollars each, how many will they have to sell to break even?\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "$40 - $25 = $15\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "$13,200 divided by 15 = 880
\n" ); document.write( "880 multiplied by 15 = 13,200\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So to break even they have to sell 880 books.
