Let x represent the number of necklaces sold.
Expenses = $100 (advertising) + $5x
Revenue = $25x
Set the expenses equal to the revenue:
$100 + $5x = $25x
Subtract $5x from both sides:
$100 = $20x
Divide by $20:
x = 5
Therefore, the company must sell 5 necklaces for their expenses to equal their revenue.
