Let n be necklaces
12.50n-5.50n-63=0
+12.50n those she earns money per necklace
-5.50n is a cost per necklace for materials
-63 one time cost on tools
To break even means she makes no profit and no loss which is 0
0=12.50n-5.50n-63
Combine like terms
0=7n-63
Add 63 to both sides
63=7n
Divide both sides by 7
N=9

You would need 5 necklaces. You would simply divide the 12.50 by 63 to find the amount to make it even. You would make $62.5 which will round up to $63.00 :))03/22/19
