Answer 1

Donny decides to manufacture and sell his band's CD. It requires an investment of $5916 for computer hardware and it will cost $4.55 for materials for each disk. If each CD sells for $14.75, how many must he sell to break even?​

Let

x ------> number of CD

we have

5,916+4.55x=14.75x --------> linear equation that represent this situation

Solve for x

14.75x-4.55x=5,916

10.2x=5,916

x=580

therefore

the answer is 580 CD
