x=10
Step-by-step explanation:
If they already have $175, they need $250 more dollars. At $8 a water bottle, they would need to sell at least 32 more bottles.
<u>Information:</u>
Fixed Cost = $32,634
Variable Cost = $8.75 per book.
Selling Price = $24.50 per book.
<u>Define x:</u>
Let x be the number of books sold.
<u>Construct Equation:</u>
For production cost to be equal auto money from sales:
⇒ 24.5x = 32634 + 8.75x
<u>Solve x:
</u>
24.5x = 32634 + 8.75x
Take away 8.75x from both sides:
15.75x = 32634
Divide both sides by 15.75:
x = 2072
Answer: The publisher must sell 2072 books.
