Question 896746: PLEASE EXPLAIN AND HELP ME !
The revenue (in millions of dollars) from the sale of x units at a home supply outlet is given by R(x)= 0.26x. The profit (in millions of dollars) from the sale of x units is given by P(x)= 0.085x-1.1.
What is the cost equation?
What is the break even point?
PLEASE HELP ME!

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
a) The cost equation(C) is the revenue minus the profit, therefore
C(x) = 0.26x - (0.085x -1.1)
C(x) = 0.26x - 0.085x +1.1
C(x) = 0.175x +1.1
b) break even point is where cost = revenue
0.175x +1.1 = 0.26x
1.1 = 0.085x
x = 12.94 million
