5 'parts' of the total company staff are men, and 8 'parts' are women.
That's 13 'parts' all together, comprising 364 people.
So each 'part' is 364/13 = 28 people.

Men = 5 'parts' = 5 x 28 = <u>140 men</u>

Women = 8 'parts' = 8 x 28 = <u>224 women</u>

<em><u>Check:</u></em>

140/224 = 70/112 = 35/56 =<em> </em><em>5/8</em>

140 + 224 = <em>364</em>

yay !

Alchen [17]

Answer: 48 sold-out performances must be played in order for you to break even.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of sold-out performances must be played in order for you to break even.

You invest in a new play. The cost includes an overhead of $30,000, plus production costs of $2500 per performance. This means that the total cost of x sold out performances would be

2500x + 30000

A sold-out performance brings you $3125. This means that he total revenue from x sold out performances would be

3125x

To break even, cost = revenue

Therefore,

2500x + 30000 = 3125x

3125x - 2500x = 30000

625x = 30000

x = 30000/625

x = 48
