Question

How many books must the publisher produce and sell so that the production cost will equal the money from sales

Answer 1

Step by step explanation:

Assuming x as the number of books, the function of production cost is:

`C(x)=45240+9.25x`

And the selling price function would be:

`S(x)=25.5x`

For rhe production cost to be equal to the money from sales we have:

`\begin{gathered} 25.5x=45240+9.25x \\ 25.5x-9.25x=45240 \\ 16.25x=45240 \\ x=(45240)/(16.25) \\ x=2784 \end{gathered}`

Answer:

The publisher must produce 2784 books
