Answer:

18162 widgets

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]C(x)=0.92x+85000[/tex]

[tex]R(x)=5.6x.[/tex]

Required

Determine the price at break even point

At breakeven point, the following relationship exists

[tex]Rx = C(x)[/tex]

Substitute values for R(x) and C(x)

[tex]5.6x = 0.92x +85000[/tex]

Collect Like Terms

[tex]5.6x - 0.92x =85000[/tex]

[tex]4.68x =85000[/tex]

Make x the subject

[tex]x = \frac{85000}{4.68}[/tex]

[tex]x = 18162.3931624[/tex]

[tex]x = 18162[/tex] --- Approximated
