100 points + Brainliest Let C represents the cost in dollars and R represents the revenue in dollars. What is the break-even point? Use a table to help if necessary.

C=36x+200
R=76x
Break-even point: (,)

Respuesta :

Answer:

  x = 5 at the break-even point

Step-by-step explanation:

You want the break-even point when cost (C) and revenue (R) are given by ...

  • C = 36x +200
  • R = 76x

Break-even

Profit is the difference between revenue and cost. The break-even point is the point at which profit is zero:

  P = R -C

  0 = 76x -(36x +200)

  0 = 40x -200 . . . . simplify

  0 = x -5 . . . . . . . . . divide by 40

  x = 5 . . . . . . . . . add 5

The break-even point is at x=5. Revenue and cost are both 380 at that point.
