To break even, the equations must satisfy that


C(x)=R(x)\text{.}

Substituting the explicit form of the equations, we get:


50x+1600=66x\text{.}

Subtracting 50x, we get:


\begin{gathered} 50x+1600-50x=66x-50x, \\ 1600=16x\text{.} \end{gathered}

Dividing by 16, we get:


\begin{gathered} x=(1600)/(16), \\ x=100. \end{gathered}

Answer:


100\text{ units.}
