The break even point is where:
\n" ); document.write( "[ cost ] = [ amount of sales ]
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+1.25+\"$ = cost/card
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+2.5+\"$ = sales receipts/ card
\n" ); document.write( "Let $\"+n+\"$ = number of cards sold
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+1.25n+%2B+15+=+2.5n+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+1.25n+=+15+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+n+=+12+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "12 cards must be sold to break even \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
