Let represent the variable cost for either situation, let represent the fixed cost for either situation and then let represent the quantity that causes the variable cost to change.

Write two Cost functions of the form:



Where representing the index number of the situation you are trying to model. Since you are interested in the value of that makes the costs equal, set the two right-hand sides equal to each other and solve for
