Answer:

500 children

Explanation:

Break even point is the level at which a firm makes neither a profit nor a loss. In other words the point where Profit = $ 0.

Break even (units) = Fixed Costs ÷ Contribution per unit

Therefore,

Break even (children) = $5,000  ÷ ($15 - $5)

                                    = 500

500 children must come to the center each day for it to break even.
