Given the cost function, C(x), and the revenue function, R(x), find the number of units x that must be sold to break even

1 answer:

8 0

P(x) = R(x) - C(x) Breaking even is the point where revenue starts to overtake cost. It is, therefore, the point where P(x) = 0. Since these are all linear functions, you know that after that point the business is profitable. P(x) = 0R(x) - C(x) = 015000x - (9000x+72000) = 015000x - 9000x - 72000 = 06000x - 72000 = 06000x = 72000x = 72000/6000x = 12 At 12 units the business breaks even.

X=29 and y=10

You would isolate one of the variables and then plug the expression into the other equation to find the value of one variable. Then you would plug this value into the other equation to determine the value of the remaining variable.
