Question

you decide to market your own computer software company.you must invest $2754 on computer hardware,and spend $4.40 to buy and package each disk, how many copies must you sell to break even?

Answer 1

This will be difficult to answer without knowing how much you are charging for each disk. Once you know the price of each disk, let's call it P, then you would want to do the following:

Cost = 2754 + 4.4X
Revenue = PX

We want to know when revenue is greater than cost, so we want to solve for X so that:

PX > 2754 + 4.4X
