\n" ); document.write( "EQUATION:
\n" ); document.write( "Let \"x\" be the number of machines sold.
\n" ); document.write( "Break Even occurs when cost = profit
\n" ); document.write( "285000 = 10x
\n" ); document.write( "x = 28,500
\n" ); document.write( "Break even occurs when they have sold 28,500 machines
