Answer
Thus, you need to sell 32 baskets to reach the break even point.
Work Step by Step
Now, we must find when the two equations in part a and b are equal in order to find the break even point. To do this, we set the two equations equal to each other:
$ 31x = 15x + 500$
We solve and round to the nearest whole number, as instructed by the problem:
$ x = 32$
Thus, you need to sell 32 baskets to reach the break even point.
