Answer:

9 bracelets sold is the break even point.

Explanation:

The total costs are 7.50 for each bracelet made and 225 for the booth rental.

Let the Costs = y and Let the number of bracelets = x.

So far what you have is

y = 225 + 7.50 * x

Balancing this out is the sale price

32.50 * x is the total income.

Equation

The break even point is where

y = 32.5x - (225 + 7.50x) = 0

Solution

32.5x - 225 - 7.50x = 0 Combine like terms on the left

25x - 225 = 0 Add 225 to both sides

25x - 225 + 225 = 0 + 225 Combine

25x = 225 Divide both sides by 25

25x/25 = 225/25

x = 9

The answer is that the break even point is when 9 bracelets have been sold.
