Question

A manufacturer of shower surrounds has a revenue function of R(x)=81.50x and a cost function of C(x)=63x+1850, where x is the number of shower surrounds. Find the number of units (shower surrounds) that must be sold to break even.

Answer 1

Answer:

To break even 100 shower surrounds must be sold

Step-by-step explanation:

To break even R(x) = C(x) that is no profit or loss

R(x) = C(x)

81.50x = 63x + 1850

81.50x -63x = 1850

18.5x = 1850

x = 1850/18.5

x = 100

To break even 100 shower surrounds must be sold
