Choose a symbol to represent the unknown.
Let "P" be the number of pages to break even.
Since they make $25 per page, 25P = 4000
P = 4000/25 = 160

Up front cost is $4000.
Assume 50 and 75 are dollar amounts.
You make 25 dollars on each page you sell. (75-50=25)
Divide 25 into 4000 to get your answer.

i think the way you do it is subtract 50 from 75 to figure out how much you make per page = 25. than divide 4000 by 25 = 160 which is how many pages you need to make in order to break even.
