Question 723951:
It costs a beekeeper $2.35 to make each pint jar of honey, and she sells the jars to stores at a price of $3.56 each. Her other monthly costs are the lease of the land and building $900, general supplies and equipment $110, utilities $350, transportation $190 and fixed salaries $5700 .
What is the monthly break even point for the number of pints made and sold to the nearest integer?
cost is 7252.32 - revenue 3.56 = 7248.79 /3.56 = 2036.17 (not right) not sure what I am doing wrong??
The beekeeper decides to give herself a raise amounting to $100 per month.
What is the monthly break even point to the nearest integer after the change?
Answer by checkley79(3341)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 3.56X>=2.35X+900+110+350+190+5,700
3.56X-2.35>=7,250
1.21X>=7,250
X>=7,250/1.21
X>=5,992 ANS.

AFTER THE $100 RAISE.
1.21X>=7,250+100
1.21X>=7,350
X>=7,350/1.21
X>=6,074 ANS.
