a) The break-even occurs when income is zero:
Rounding up to the next whole pizza, the break-even for oven A is 1,667 pizzas and for oven B it is 2,353 pizzas.
b) For x = 9,000:
Income is greater with oven A, so Janelle should use oven A.
c) For x = 12,000
Income is greater with oven A, so Janelle should use oven A.
d) She should switch ovens at the value for 'x' that causes B to be greater than A:
Rounding up to the next whole pizza, she should switch ovens at a volume of 13,334 pizzas.
