Pencils are sold in a local store for 55 cents each. The factory has $1300 in fixed costs plus 15 cents of additional expense for each pencil made. Assuming all
pencils manufactured can be sold, find the break-even point.
Break-even point:

3250 pencils sold

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of pencils.

The profit from the pencils sold can be represented by 0.55x, and the cost from making the pencils can be represented by 1300 + 0.15x.

Set these two terms equal to each other, and solve for x:

0.55x = 1300 + 0.15x

0.4x = 1300

x = 3250

So, the break even point is at 3250 pencils sold.

step-by-step explanation:

connie < felicia < stew

step-by-step explanation:

stew:

we need to find the slope

m = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

    = (2650-795)/(10-3)

    = 1855/7

connie:

we need to find the slope

m = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

we have two points (0,0) and (4,800)

m = (800-0)/(4-0)

  m = 800/4
