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 game is going to sell the shirts for $15 each how many shirts do they need to sell to break even
The total cost to print and set up the design for the shirts is $100.
The cost per shirt is $10.
The selling price per shirt is $15.
To break even, the total revenue from selling the shirts must cover the total costs.
Let's assume the Lakewood baseball team sells x shirts.
Total cost = $100 + $10x
Total revenue = $15x
To break even:
$100 + $10x = $15x
Subtract $10x from both sides:
$100 = $5x
Divide both sides by $5:
$100 / $5 = x
20 = x
They need to sell 20 shirts to break even.
