Her business will break even when she contains sold 1740 bottles of her lotion.

<h3>How many bottles of lotion must she make and sell before her business breaks even?</h3>

Given: She invests $15,225 in equipment to manufacture and package her lotion each bottle costs $3.25 to manufacture and sells for $12.

"Break even" occurs when Revenue = Costs.

($12/bottle)x = $15225 + ($3.25)x

Simplifying the above equation, we get

$8.75x = $15225

Diving both sides of the equation by 8.75, we get

$8.75x/8.75 = $15225/8.75

x = 1740 bottles

Therefore, the value of x = 1740 bottles.

Her business will break even when she contains sold 1740 bottles of her lotion.

Therefore, the correct answer is option b. 1740 bottles.

The perimeter of a rectangle is 132 feet and its area is 1080 square feet. find the dimensions
FrozenT [24]
2x + 2y=132

xy=1080

Let x=1080/y

2160/y + 2y=132
2y^2 - 132y +2160=0
2(y^2-66y+1080)=0
2(y-30)(y-33)=0
y=30 or y=33
(36,30) or (30,36)

So... x=30,36 and y=36,30. Either way, the answer is 30 by 36 or 36 by 30.
