The point at which a company's profits equal zero is called the company's break-even point. let R represent a company's revenue,
let C represent the company's costs, and let x represent the number of units produced and sold each day. R(x)=12x
C(x)=6.5x+22000
a) Find the firm's break-even point; that is, find x so that R=C
b) Find the values of x such that R(x)>C(x). this represents the number of units that the company must sell to earn a profit.
R ( x ) = 12 x ( revenue ) C ( x ) = 6.5 x + 22,000 ( cost ) a ) Break-even point : R ( x ) = C ( x ) 12 x = 6.5 x + 22,000 12 x - 6.5 x = 22,000 5.5 x = 22,000 x = 22,000 : 5.5 x = 4,000 b ) R ( x ) > C ( x ) x > 4,000 The number of units that the company must sell to earn a profit is 4,001 or more.
Well you could use the equation 32=2x or 32=(2*x) but if you're looking for an answer that is other than turning this into an equation, then it would be impossible to find an answer. I hope this helped ^^
