Question 56258
A company that manufactures bikes has a fixed cost of $100.00.  It costs $100.00 to produce each bike.  The selling price per bike is $300.00

1. write the cost function, C

C(x)=mx+b, where m is the cost per bike and b is the fixed price.
C(x)=100x+100
2. write the revenu function, R
R(x)=kx, where k is the selling price per bike.
R(x)=300x
3. determine the breat-even point.  Describe what this means.
The break even point is when C(x)=R(x)
100x+100=300x
-100x+100x+100=300x-100x
100=200x
100/200=200x/200
1/2=x
This makes me think that perhaps you typed the problem incorrectly.  Because according to this, the company breaks even if it sells half a bike.  I would round that up to 1.  Is the fixed cost=to the cost per bike?
Happy Calculating!!!!
