+C+=+3094+%2B+3.19n+
+R+=+4.44n+
+P+=+R+-+C+
+P+=+4.44n+-+%28+3094+%2B+3.19n+%29+
Set the profit = +0+ to find where +R+=+C+
Then the company must +n+%2B+1+ thing-a-ma-bobs
+4.44n+-+%28+3094+%2B+3.19n+%29+=+0+
+4.44n+-+3.19n+=+3094+
+1.25n+=+3094+
+n+=+2475.2+
To make a profit, they must sell 2476 thing-a-ma-bobs
