To break even, the total revenue from selling shirts must cover the total cost of printing plus the cost per shirt.
Let x be the number of shirts sold.
Total cost = $100 + $10x (printing design/set up cost + cost per shirt)
Total revenue = $15x
To break even:
$100 + $10x = $15x
Solving for x:
$100 = $5x
x = 20
Therefore, the team needs to sell 20 shirts to break even.
