number of tickets sold --- n
profit = income - expenses
= 5n -( 3n+1300 + 1800)
= 2n - 3100
to "break even", the profit is zero, so ...
2n - 3100 = 0
2n = 3100
n = 1550
to break even they must sell 1550 tickets.
Please show me how to set this up and how to solve. Thanks in advance.
At the local ballpark, the team charges $5 for each ticket and expects to make $1,300 in the concessions. The team must pay its players $1800 and pay all other workers $1500. Each fan gets a free bat that cost the team $3 per bat. How many tickets must be sold to break even?
