C is the best option and compare it with the equation of circle to get values
There is one<span> last step after getting </span>x<span> = </span>3<span>. You must check </span>x<span> = </span>3<span> in the original equation to be sure that </span>x<span> = </span>3<span> does not cause a zero denominator.</span>

Find Sales Price of 5 gallons of ice-cream:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Sales price of Fruity Tooty = $6.00
Sales price of Peanut Butter = $5 x 2 = $10.00
Sales price of Rocky Road = $5.25 x 2 = $10.50
Total Sales Per 5 gallon = $6 + $10 + $10.50 = $26.50
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Find Variable Cost of 5 gallons of ice-cream:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Variable Cost of Fruit Tooty = $5.25
Variable Cost of Peanut Butter = $4.50 x 2 = $9.00
Variable Cost of Rocky Road = $4 x 2 = $8.00
Total Variable Coast = $5.25 + $9 + $8 = $22.25
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Fixed Cost Given:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Fixed Cost = $7500
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Define x:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Let x be the number of 5 gallons that need to be sold to breakeven:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Find x:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
26.50x = 7500 + 22.25x
26.50x - 22.25x = 7500
4.25x = 7500
x = 7500 ÷ 4.25
x = 1764.7 (Nearest tenth)
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Find the number of gallons of ice-cream needed:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Total number of 5 gallons needed = 1764.7
Total gallons needed = 1764.7 x 5 =8823.5
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: I sceam needs to sell 8823.5 gallons of ice cream to break even.
