The lakewood baseball game team is selling t shirts for a fundraiser the shirts cost 100 dollars for the printing design and setup plus 10 dollars per shirt the team is going to sell the shirts for 15 dollars each. How many shirts do they need to sell to break even
In order to break even, the team needs to cover the initial cost of $100 for printing design and setup, as well as the $10 cost per shirt. Each shirt will be sold for $15.
Let x be the number of shirts the team needs to sell to break even.
Total cost = $100 + $10x
Total revenue = $15x
In order to break even, the total cost must equal the total revenue:
100 + 10x = 15x
100 = 15x - 10x
100 = 5x
x = 20
Therefore, the team needs to sell 20 shirts in order to break even.
