You can put this solution on YOUR website! Find the break-even quantity for a company that makes X number of computer monitors at a cost C given by C = 870 + 70x and receives revenue R given by R = 105x
Step 1. Breakeven points, set the equations C=180+70x and R=105x to be equal.
Step 2. Then, 870+70x=105x.
Step 3. The following steps will solve the equation in Step 2.
Subtract 70x from both sides of the equation to get x-terms only on the right side.
Divide 35 to both sides of the equation
or x is approximately 25 computers must be sold to break even
Step 4. ANSWER is 25 computers must be sold to break even with a positive profit.
I hope the above steps and explanation were helpful.
