A hot-dog stand can purchase hot-dogs for $.35 each and buns for $.20 each.
It has fixed costs of $50. Each hot-dog is sold for $1.
:
write a linear equation for both cost and revenue.
Let x = no. sold; each cost .35+ .20 = .55
Cost = .55x + 50
Rev = 1x
:
Graph both cost and revenue.
+graph%28+300%2C+200%2C+-40%2C+150%2C+-40%2C+150%2C+x%2C+.55x%2B50%29+
Cost: green
Rev: purple
:
Estimate the break-even point. How about 110 hot dogs sold at $110
