Break-Even Points

Question 8 • LJISD-TX-Precalculus-B-CR

Mike and Kim invest $18,000 in equipment to print yearbooks for schools. Each yearbook costs $5 to print and sells for $30. How many yearbooks must they sell before their business breaks even?

Answer
A
720
B
3,600
C
600
D
1,060

Explanation

Each yearbook sells for $30 and costs $5 to print, so it contributes $25 toward paying back the equipment investment. Divide the $18,000 investment by $25 per yearbook: $18,000 ÷ $25 = 720. They must sell 720 yearbooks to break even, so the correct choice is 720.
