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)

Question

shirts

Answer 1

To break even, they need to sell enough shirts to cover their costs.
The cost of printing and setup is $100.
The cost per shirt is $10.
The selling price per shirt is $15.

To cover the printing and setup cost, they need to sell $100 worth of shirts. ($100 / $15 = 6.67 shirts)

To cover the cost per shirt, they need to sell enough shirts to equal $10 per shirt. ($10 / $15 = 0.67 shirts)

To break even, they need to sell a total of 7 shirts.
