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?
____ shirts
To break even, the team needs to cover the cost of $100 for the design and setup as well as the cost of each individual shirt at $10 each.
Total cost = $100 + ($10 * x) where x represents the number of shirts sold
Total revenue = $15 * x
To break even, total cost must equal total revenue:
$100 + ($10 * x) = $15 * x
$100 = $5 * x
x = 20 shirts
Therefore, the team needs to sell 20 shirts to break even.
