Respuesta :
If you do 13.75-2.90 you're left with 10.85. Divide 3255 by 10.85 you get 300.
300 copies is your answer
300 copies is your answer
Answer:
300 copies
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : You must invest $3,255 for computer hardware, and spend $2.90 to buy and package each disk.
To Find: If each program sells for $13.75, how many copies must you sell to break even?
Solution:
Let x be the number of copies
You spend on 1 disk = $2.90
You spend on x disks = 2.90x
You must invest $3,255 for computer hardware
Total expenditure = 3255+2.9x
You sell each disk = $13.75
You sell x disk = $13.75x
Now to find how many copies must you sell to break even
[tex]3255+2.9x=13.75x[/tex]
[tex]3255=13.75x-2.9x[/tex]
[tex]3255=10.85x[/tex]
[tex]\frac{3255}{10.85}=x[/tex]
[tex]300=x[/tex]
Hence you must sell 300 copies to break even.
