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
15 shirts
To break even, the team needs to cover the $100 printing design and setup cost, as well as the $10 cost per shirt.
Total cost = $100 + $10x, where x is the number of shirts
Total revenue = $15x
To break even, the total cost must equal the total revenue:
$100 + $10x = $15x
$100 = $5x
x = 20 shirts
Therefore, the team needs to sell 20 shirts to break even.
