Answer:

Stacy needs to sell at least 23 prints in order for her revenue to equal her expenses.

Explanation: To calculate the total expenses, we need to add the fixed cost of equipment ($38) to the variable cost of each print ($2.5). So the total expenses per print is $2.5 + $38 = $40.50. To calculate the number of prints needed to break even, we divide the total expenses by the revenue per print. 40.50 / 12 = 3.375 which is approximately 3.4 and if we round it up to 4 ,then we will get 4*12 = 48 and this is less than the fixed cost of 38. So, we need to increase the number of print to 23 in order to her revenue to equal her expenses.
