The designer must sell 200 hats for breaking even.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Cost for material for each hat = $5.50

Selling price of each hat = $12.50

Cost spend on advertising = $1400

Let,

x represents the number of hats.

Revenue = 12.50x

Costs = 5.50x+1400

For breaking even,

Revenue = Cost

[tex]12.50x=5.50x+1400\\12.50x-5.50x=1400\\7x=1400[/tex]

Dividing both sides by 7

[tex]\frac{7x}{7}=\frac{1400}{7}\\x=200[/tex]

The designer must sell 200 hats for breaking even.
