Question 98218: Word Problem:
If the manufacturing cost of a pair of slacks is $10/pair and your operating costs are $30,000/month, how many pair of slacks must be manufactured to have an average operating cost of $15.00? Answer by 303795(602) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! If the pants have an average operating cost of $15 then $10 is the cost of manufacturing the slacks and $5 is the pants' share of the fixed costs. If each pair of slacks contributes $5 towards the operating costs then there were 30 000/5 pairs of slacks made ie 6000 pairs of slacks.
