Sandra makes and sells bracelets. It costs her $2 to make each bracelet, plus a one-time cost of $15 for supplies. She plans to sell each bracelet for $5. Let x represent the number of bracelets. Which equation can be used to find the number of bracelets she needs to sell to break even? 2 x minus 5 x = 15 2 x 5 x = 15 2 x 15 = 5 x 5 x 15 = 2 x.

Respuesta :

Selling is to give an item or goods in exchange for cash to the purchaser by the supplier or manufacturer. Sales are done to make a profit over the items manufactured or produced.

2x + 15 = 5x is the equation that should be used.

How to determine the equation?

Given,

  • Cost of each bracelet = $ 2
  • One time cost of supplies = $ 15
  • Selling price of each bracelet = $5
  • Number of bracelets = x

The number of bracelets that she wants to sell can be estimated by equating the total cost for production to the income earned from the selling.

The cost of each bracelet should be multiplied by the number of bracelets needed to be sold and equated with total income multiplied by the number of bracelets she needs to sell.

Hence, it can be written as  2x + 15 = 5x

Therefore, option C  2x + 15 = 5x is correct.
