To break even, we need the total profit to be equal to 0. If we make x dollars in 2012, then we need to solve
2.5 + 1.75 + (-3.3) + (-1.4) + x = 0
This gives us x = 0.45 in thousands.
Since the question asks us to give the answer in hundreds, we multiply by 10 and get 4.5. Thus the profit in 2012 must be 4.5 (in hundreds) to break even."
