Answer 1

Find the break point. (Round your answer to the nearest whole unit.)

122222 fastener

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost 1= 1100+0,007x

Cost 2=1650+0,0025x

cost1=cost2

1100+0,007x=1650+0,0025x

0,0045x=650

x=122222 fastener

Cost 1=1100+0,007*122222

Cost 1=1955,55

Cost 2=1650*0,0025*122222

Cost 2=1955,55
