Question 466693:  Please help me to solve this problem. A corn refining company produces corn gluten cattle feed at a variable cost of $76 per ton. If fixed costs are $110,000 per month and the feed sells for $126 per ton, how many tons must be sold for the company to have a monthly profit of $540,000? 
 Answer by mananth(16946)      (Show Source): 
You can  put this solution on YOUR website! Let the number of tons produced per month be x
 
126x- (110,000 + 76x)=540,000 
126x-110,000-76x=540,000 
50x=650,000 
/50 
x=650,000/50 
x=13000 Tons
