The Lakewood baseball team is selling T-shirts for a fundraiser. The shirts cost $100 for the printing design set up plus $10 per shirt. The team is going to sell the shirts for $15 each. How many shirts do they need to sell to break even

Answer 1

To break even, the team needs to cover the total cost of the shirts, including the design set up fee.

Let's calculate the total cost per shirt:
Cost per shirt = $100 (design set up fee) + $10 (printing cost per shirt) = $110

Now, let's calculate the break-even point:
Break-even point = Total cost / Selling price per shirt
Break-even point = $110 / $15
Break-even point = 7.33

Since the team cannot sell a fraction of a shirt, they need to sell at least 8 shirts to break even.
