You invested $27,200 and started a business selling vases. Supplies cost $11 per

vase and you are selling each vase for $28. Determine the number of vases, x, that

must be produced and sold to break even.


Sagot :

1,600 vases must be produced and sold to break even.

x($28-$11)=$27,200
Simplify to 17x=27,200
Divide 17x by 17 so it cancels out.
What you do to one side of the equation you have to do to the other.
27,200/17=1,600
x=1,600
