The Lakewood baseball team is selling T-shirts for a fundraiser. The shirts cost $100 for the printing design and setup, plus $10 per shirt. The team is going to sell the shirts for $15 each. How many shirts do they need to sell to break even? (1 point)
shirts
The team needs to sell 20 shirts to break even.
Break-even point = (Printing design and setup cost + (Cost per shirt x number of shirts)) / Selling price per shirt
Break-even point = ($100 + ($10 x number of shirts)) / $15
Break-even point = ($100 + $10n) / $15
Setting this equal to 0 to find the break-even point:
$100 + $10n = $15n
$100 = $5n
n = 20
Therefore, the team needs to sell 20 shirts to break even.
