Question

Each Sunday, a newspaper agency sells x copies of a certain newspaper for $4.49

per copy. The cost to the agency for each newspaper is $1.51. The agency pays a
fixed cost for storage, delivery, and so on, of $207 per Sunday. How many
newspapers need to be sold for the agency to break-even? (Round your final answer to
the nearest whole number).

Answer 1

4.49-1.51x=207
2.98x=207
x=207/2.98
x=69.46
If they want it rounded just to the closest whole number then the answer is 69 newspapers.
