Question 1072513: A clothing manufacturing company spent $1,000 researching new t-shirt designs. It will cost the company $4.50 to manufactures each t-shirt and will sell each shirt for $12.00.
How many t-shirts must the company sell in order for their costs to equal their profit(break-even)?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x = number of shirts sold to break even

(12 - 4.5)x = 1000
7.5x = 1000
x = 133.33333

The company needs to sell at least 134 shirts to make a profit.
