Let $\"C\"$ = cost of making $\"t\"$ t-shirts
\n" ); document.write( "Let $\"I\"$ = income form selling $\"t\"$ t-shirts
\n" ); document.write( " $\"C+=+1500+%2B+3t\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"I+=+20t\"$
\n" ); document.write( "The break-even point is where income = cost
\n" ); document.write( " $\"I+=+C\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"1500+%2B+3t+=+20t\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"17t+=+1500\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"t+=+88.235\"$
\n" ); document.write( "The beak-even point is 88 t-shirts \n" ); document.write( "
