Question

A business decides to produce 6,000 football cushions and sell them for $6.00 each. They cost the company $4.00 each to produce. How many cushions must the company sell to break even?

Answer 1

number produced = 6000

amount sold = $6 per football

It cost the company $4 to produce each ball.

To break even is when the profit equals the cost. Therefore,

The cost is

$4\times6000=\text{ \ }24000$

The cushion he will sell to break even will be

$\frac{24000}{6}=\text{ 4000}$
