Question

31.) You decide to market your own custom computer software. You must invest $3,255 for computer hardware, and spend $2.90 to buy and package each disk. If each program sells for $13.75, how many copies must you sell to break even?

a.) 301 copies

b.) 300 copies

c.) 195 copies

d.) 196 copies

Answer 1

B. 300 Copies

Explanation:

So inplace of the copies you input the value x. Then, create an equation...

3,255= 13.75x -2.90x

3,255= 10.85x

Next you have to isolate x

3,255/10.85 = 300

so, 300=x
