d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

75 posters

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$y = 3x$ ---- Revenue

$y = \frac{x}{3} + 200$ --Cost of production

Required

Determine the number of posters that when cost equals revenue

To do this, we simply equate both equations

i.e. $3x = \frac{x}{3} + 200$

Collect like terms.

$3x - \frac{x}{3} = 200$

Multiply through by 3

$3(3x - \frac{x}{3}) = 200*3$

$9x - x = 600$

$8x = 600$

Divide both sides by 8

$\frac{8x}{8} = \frac{600}{8}$

$x = \frac{600}{8}$

$x = 75$
