Question 326197
The one-time fixed costs will amount to $41,088. The variable costs will be $9.75 per book. The publisher will sell the finished product to bookstores at a price of $21.75 per book. How many books must the publisher print and sell so that the production costs will equal the money obtained from sales? 
-----------------------
Cost = 41,088 + 9.75x where x is the number of books 
--------------------------
Revenue = 21.75x
---------------------------
Solve: cost = Revenue
41088 + 9.75x = 21.75x
41088 = 12x
x = 3424 books
