Answer:

2000 bars, or $1200

Explanation:

Let x represent the number of candy bars that are sold.  Since they are sold for $0.60 each, this gives us the expression

0.60x

to represent the profit.

The factor has $0.10 per candy bar additional expense; this gives us the expression

0.10x.

However the factory also has $1000 fixed costs; this gives us

0.10x + 1000

to represent the costs.

The break-even point is the point where these two expressions are equal; this gives us the equation

0.60x = 0.10x + 1000

Subtract 0.10x from each side:

0.60x - 0.10x = 0.10x + 1000 - 0.10x

0.50x = 1000

Divide both sides by 0.50:

0.50x/0.50 = 1000/0.50

x = 2000

The break-even point is 2000 candy bars, which would sell for

0.60(2000) = $1200

Let the number of candybars made be x. We first need to find an equation for revenue, which is profit - cost.

Lets work out what profit is first. Each candybar sells for 60 cents, therefore 0.60x represents how much profit is made from the candybars.

Next, lets work out cost. We know there's a fixed cost of 1000 plus the cost per bar which is 0.10x. So the equation for cost is 1000 + 0.10x.

Finally, lets solve for revenue.

R = 0.60x - (1000 + 0.10x)

R = 0.60x - 1000 - 0.10x

R = 0.50x - 1000

So, this is our revenue equation. To break even means that revenue is 0. The company isn't making or losing any money. Therefore, we can set this equation to 0 to find how many bars need to be made to break even.

0 = 0.50x - 1000

1000 = 0.50x

2000 = x

Thus, the company needs to make 2000 candy bars to break even.

What is 3.25 x 10^4 as an ordinary number?
Veronika [31]

The 10 followed by the little superscript number just represents how many decimal places you move to get your final number. So:

3.25 × 10⁴ just means you move the decimal point (between 3 and 2) four times to the right: 32500 (the decimal point would be after the last 0, so technically it's 32500.0, but you don't need to write that).

When the little superscript number is negative, you move the decimal point to the left:

6.04 × 10⁻³ = 0.00604 (make sure to add a zero before the decimal too).

When you write a standard form number, you have to make sure the number is larger than 0 and less than 10, so converting a number like 2,400,000 would be 2.4 × 10⁵, because you're moving the decimal place 5 times to get 2,400,000.

0.00147 is 1.47 × 10⁻³ because once again, you have to move 3 decimal places to the left.
