(a) How many game machines must be sold for the company to make a profit?
(b) How many game machines must be sold for the company to break even? Answer by checkley71(8403) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 570000+100x=120x
120x-100x=570000
20x=570000
x=570000/20
x=28,500 units need to be sold to break even.
28,501 units need to be sold to make a profit.
