Answer:
The number of sweatshirts to sell in order to break even is 40
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the number of sweatshirts. We are looking for break even, which means profit is 0 here.
And softball team purchased a box for 240$ and for printing it costs 12$ per shirt.
So total cost of sweatshirts = 240+12x
And selling price is 18$ per shirt.
Hence selling price for x shirts = 18x.
Now we need to graph y=18x and y=240+12x first and then look for intersection to find the break even.
From the graph attached, we can see that both lines are intersecting at x=40.
Hence number of sweatshirts to sell in order to break even is 40.
Start at (0,0) go to the left 2 times then go down 5 times and you should get to (-2,-5)
