You can put this solution on YOUR website!
What does "{0.15 x1,000} with 2,800 {28*1,000} in constant charge" mean? In the English language, please.
Can't tell how much you lose on "Sell Zero" because you didn't say how many were manufactured.
Ordinarily you would just substitute the number sold for x in the profit function, but your profit function is whack.
Number to sell to profit $100K, set profit function equal to $100K and solve. Break even is the root of the equation formed when you set the profit function equal to zero.
