Question 928310: If X units of a product costs C dollars to manufacture and earn revenue of R dollars, the value of X where the expression for C an R is called break- even quantity, the number of units that produce zero profit. Find the break even quantity when C = 16x+20000, and R= 18x.
How many units must be produced and sold to break even?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
c = 16x + 20000
r = 18x
---
at break even:
c = r
---
16x + 20000 = 18x
2x = 20000
x = 10000
