Answer:the break even point is when 10 bracelets are made and sold.

Explanation:

Let x represent the number of bracelets that the student makes and sells.

The material to make each bracelets cost is 7.50. This means that the cost of making x bracelets would be

x × 7.5 = 7.5x

The the booth at the craft show costs 255. This means that the total cost incurred would be

7x + 255

The cost of selling each bracelet is 32.50. It means that the total cost of selling x bracelets would be

32.5 × x = 32.5x

At the point of break even, profit is zero. Therefore

Revenue - cost = 0

Revenue = cost

So

32.5x = 7x + 255

32.5x - 7x = 255

25.5x = 255

x = 255/25.5

x = 10
