Answer 2

The club must sell 1000 newsletters.

Explanation:

Let x be the number of newsletter must the club sell to break even,

Since, the expenses are $0.90 for printing and mailing each cop plus $600,

So, the total expenses for x newsletters = 0.90 x + 600,

Also, The price is the newsletter is $1.50 per copy,

⇒ Total revenue after selling x newsletter = 1.50 x

To break even,

Total Revenue = Total expenses

⇒ 1.50x = 0.90x + 600

⇒ 0.60 x = 600 ( Subtract 0.90x both sides )

⇒ x = 1000 ( Divide both sides by 0.60 )

Hence, 1000 newsletter must be sold to break even.
