Question

sandra makes and sells bracelets. it costs her $2 to make each bracelet, plus a one time cost of $15 for supplies. she plans to sell each bracelet for $5. let x represent the number of bracelets. which equation can be used to find the number of bracelets she needs to sale to break even

Answer 1

x = Number of bracelets.

Cost of bracelets:
Each cost $2, totaling = 2*x = 2x

One time cost of $15
Therefore Total cost = 2x + 15

to Break even her sales need to be more than the cost.

Amount from sales: $5 each, for the x = 5*x = 5x


Cost = $(2x +15)

Sale = $5x

To break even

Sale > Cost

5x > 2x + 15

5x - 2x > 15

3x > 15

x > 15/5

x > 3

So to break even she needs to make more than 3 bracelets from each supply.

Answer 2

Answer: 2 x + 15 = 5 x
