Answer:

The company needs to sell 9000 units in order to turn a profit of $40,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello, great question. These types are questions are the beginning steps for learning more advanced Algebraic Equations.

From the question we can get some important hints before creating our formula. First the Selling Price will be profit so it will be a positive number, but both unit cost and fixed costs are losses so they will be negative values in our formula. Also our formula will depend on the amount sold which we can represent as the variable x. With these hints we can create our formula as the following

(60x-20x)-400,000 = y

Where:

  • x is the amount of units created and sold
  • y is the total profit after selling x-units

Now that we have our formula the question asks how many units need to be sold in order to earn a profit of $40,000. We can calculate this by replacing the $40,000 with y and solving for x like so,

(60x-20x)-400,000 = 40,000 .... add 400,000 on both sides

40x= 360,000 ... divide both sides by 40

x= 9000

The company needs to sell 9000 units in order to turn a profit of $40,000

I hope this answered your question. If you have any more questions feel free to ask away at Brainly.

A jar holds 128 fluid ounces of juice. The label says the jar has 16 servings. How many fluid ounces are needed for 80 servings?
Bumek [7]
There are 16 servings for each 128 fluid ounces of juice. 

Divide 80 servings by 16 servings, and 5 should be the quotient. Therefore, there are 5 jars of juice. Multiply 128 by 5 since 128 fluid ounces are in one jar. The answer should be 640 fluid ounces.
