Question

you decide to market your own custom computer software. You must invest $3784 in computer hardware and spend $2.90 to buy and pakage each disk. If each program sells for $11.50, how many copies must you sell to break even?

plz explain how you got to the answer step by step

thx soo much

Answer 1

sale cost minus production cost then you have profit divide the investment price by the profit and there you have it.
440 units

Answer 2

Let x be the no. of copies to be sold to break even
Hence total investment=3784+2.90x
total selling price=11.50x
11.50x=3784+2.90x
=.11.50x-2.90x=3784
=>8.60x=3784
=>x=3784/8.60=440
Therefore you have to sell 44o copies
arithmatical solution
You make a profit of $11.50-$2.90=$8.60 by selling each copy
So to get even or get back your original investment amount of $3784,you must sell 3784/8.60 or 440copies

Answer 3

divide the amount of money you invested by the final selling price of the product. $3,784 divided by $11.50 = 329.04 units needed to break even. since you cant sell a fraction of a unit, round it up to 330 units. to find out how much profit you will make, divide your initial investment by your cost to buy and package the units and subtract the number needed to break even. $3,784 divided by $2.90 = 1,303.79. Again, you cant buy a fraction of a unit so you have to round down to 1,303 units bought. The total selling price (assuming you sell all 1,303 units) will be $14,984.50 and your profit will be $11,200.50

Answer 4

you make 11.50-2.90 = 8.60 per disk 8.6 dollars per disk * number of disks - 3784 total cost = 0

number of disks = 3784 / 8.6 = 440 disks to make and lose 0 dollars. any more and you start making more

Answer 5

equation
11.50+2.90 = 14.40x
x === number of cd or etc

14.40x == 3784
must sell about 263 cd

Answer 6

11.5*x=3784+2.9*x
x=440
