The revenue for selling x units of a product is R=28.25x.
The cost of producing x units C= 11.85x+50,000.
--------------------
For the producer to obtain a profit the revenue must be larger than the cost.
For what values of x will this product return a profit?
Round your answer to the nearest whole unit.
-------
Solve the inequality:: R(x) > C(x)
------
28.25x > 11.85x + 50,000
--------
16.4x > 50,000
--------
Ans: x > 50,000/16.4 = 3048.78.. units
x >= 3049 units
---------------
