The answer is D, 14 percent
The break-even point is when there is no profit and no loss. Given the two equations for cost and revenue, we simply have to equate the two equations to solve for the unknown value, n. This is shown below:
C = 20n + 134000
R = 160n
R = C
160n = 20n + 134000
140n = 134000
n = 957.14
Among the choices, the nearest answer is D. 957.
Hey friend!
Let's work this out.
The answer is 2.5r
Take one of the points in the table,
like x=1 y=5
or x=2 y=7
Write them into one of the choices on the list,
and see if the result is true.
For example,
-- Take the line in table that says x=1 y=5.
-- And take the first choice on the list y = x + 3 .
-- Write '1' in place of 'x', and write '5' in place of 'y'.
-- Then you have <u>5 = 1 + 3</u> .
Is this true ? I don't think so.
So the first choice on the list can't be correct.
Try thesame point x=1 y=5 with the other choices.
You'll find one that IS correct, and that's the answer.
