At a local ball park, the team charges $7.50 for each ticket and expects to make $2232.50 in concessions. The team must pay its players $3040.00 and pay all other workers $1472.50. Each fan gets a free bat that cost the team $2.75. Write the income and expense equations and find how many tickets must be sold to break even.
can you show me how you did it too?

You need to set revenue equal to expense.
R = revenue
E = expense
x = number of tickets sold
R = 7.50x + 2,232.50
E = 3,040.00 + 1,472.50 + 2.75x
Set revenue and expense equal
7.50x + 2,232.50 = 3,040.00 + 1,472.50 + 2.75x
4.75x = 2,280.00
x = 480
They need to sell 480 tickets to break even.

3040+1472.50-2232.5/(7.5-2.75)
