Answer 2

The club must sell 18 jackets to break even

Explanation:

Given:

C = 20x + 270

Where,

x = number of jackets

Equation for revenue R in terms of the number of jackets

Revenue = price × quantity

Price of the jacket = $35

Quantity of the jacket = x

Revenue = price × quantity

= 35 * x

R = 35x

Break even point is the point at which cost is equal to revenue, that is, no gain; no loss.

Cost = revenue

20x + 270 = 35x

270 = 35x - 20x

270 = 15x

x = 270 / 15

= 18

x = 18 jackets

The club must sell 18 jackets to break even
