Question

Break-Even Point. The El Portal Center for the Arts is showing a movie to raise money for a local charity. The cost to put on the event is $2,070, which includes rent on the Center and movie, insurance, and wages for the paid attendants. If tickets cost $9 each, then solving the equation 9x = 2,070 gives the number of tickets they must sell in order to cover their costs. This number is called the break-even point. Solve the equation for x to find the break-even point.The break even point is at ? tickets.

Answer 1

230 tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the break even point, we need to solve the following equation

9x = 2,070

So, dividing both sides by 9, we get:

9x/9 = 2,070/9

x = 230

Therefore, the break even point is 230 tickets.
