Please help me solve this problems and each step in order to understand it.
Thank you in advance. Answer by rothauserc(4718) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let x be the number of pencils produced
C(x) = 3000 + .10x
R(x) = (.70 - .10)x = .60x
Break even point = .60x = (3000 + .10x)
= .50x = 3000
and x = 6000 pencils need to be sold to break even
