You can put this solution on YOUR website! Re: Ridgemont High School is paying $13,200 for the writing and reasurch of their yearbook plus a printing fee of $25 per book. if they sell the books for $40 dollars each, how many will they have to sell to break even?
$40 - $25 = $15
$13,200 divided by 15 = 880
880 multiplied by 15 = 13,200
So to break even they have to sell 880 books.
