1) Cost = initial investment + recurring supply costs:
Cost = $15,000 + $7x
2) Revenue = (Sale price of each product)(Number of products sold):
Revenue = $18x
3) You "break even" when the revenue equals your costs:
Revenue = Cost
18x = 15,000 + 7x
Solve for x, the number of products you need to sell to break even. Round t the nearest whole unit (number).
