Question

BRAINLIEST ANSWER (please do it right)

Answer 1

Answer:

55 performances

Step-by-step explanation:

The first equation will be the total cost. The total cost has $88,000 already and then $5,900 is added with each performance. So the equation would be 88,000+5,900x because x will represent the number of performances.

y = 88,000 + 5,900x

The next equation will be how much the performances earn. If they earn $7,500 with each performance then the equation will be 7,500x, with x representing the number of performances

y = 7,500x

Now set the equations equal to each other and solve for x

7,500x = 88,000 + 5,900x

1,600x = 88,000

x = 55

They need to have 55 performances for the cost and the revenue to break even.
