Question

Mike and Kim invest 14,000 in equipment to print yearbooks first schools. Each costs $7 to print and sells for $35. How many yearbooks must they seek before their business breaks even?

Answer 1

5000

Explanation:

Let x be the number of yearbooks to print and sell.

Each costs $7 = -7x

Sells for $35 = 35x

When business breaks even it means the total cost is equal to the total revenue. Hence:

35x - 7x = 14000

<=> 28x = 14000

<=> x = 5000

So at 5000 yearbooks , they seek before their business breaks even
