Question
The Lakewood baseball team is selling T-shirts for a fundraiser. The shirts cost $100 for the printing design and setup, 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?(1 point)
shirts

Answer 1

To break even, the total revenue must equal the total cost.

Let x be the number of shirts sold.
Total cost = 100 + 10x
Total revenue = 15x

Setting the total revenue equal to the total cost:
15x = 100 + 10x
5x = 100
x = 20

The team needs to sell 20 shirts to break even.
