Question

At the local ball park the team charges $8 for each ticket and expects to make $1,100 in concessions. The team must pay its players $2,100 and pay all other workers $1,200. Each fan gets a feee bat that costs the team $4 per bat. How many tickets must be sold to break even?

Answer 1

x=600

Explanation:

Let x = number of tickets sold

Income = 5x + 1100

Costs = 1900 + 1600 + x = x + 3500

Break even when Income = Costs

5x + 1100 = 3500 + x

4x = 2400

x = 600
