Question

Let C represent the cost in dollars and R represent the revenue in dollars. What is the break-even point? Use a table to help if necessary. C=36x+200 R=76x
Help? Plz!?

Answer 1

The break even point is when C and R are equal....so set them equal

36x + 200 = 76x
200 = 76x - 36x
200 = 40x
200/40 = x
5 = x 

C = 36(5) + 200            R = 76(5)
C = 180 + 200              R = 380
C = 380

so the break even point is 380
