PLEASE HURRY!!!!!!!!! A small publishing company is planning to publish a new book. The production costs will include one-time fixed costs (such as editing) and variable costs (such as printing). The one-time fixed costs will total $35,070 . The variable costs will be $12 per book. The publisher will sell the finished product to bookstores at a price of $20.75 per book. How many books must the publisher produce and sell so that the production costs will equal the money from sales?

Answer:

12.5x = 54150

x = 54150%2F12.5

x = 4332 books need to be sold to cover production costs

Explanation:

Check:

c = 12.50(4332) + 54150

c = 54150 + 54150

c = 108300
