Question

the pep club is going to sell bouquets of flowers during the homecoming game. they represent their revenue R and costs C with the following equations.
R = 5.50x   C=250+1.25x   x is the number of bouquets

When is the pep clubs revenue equal to their costs? Explain.

anonymous · Answer

The revenue equals the costs when you set R and C equal to one another.
so... 5.50x = 250 + 1.25x
now you get x on a side by itself, so you can solve for it.
4.25x = 250
x = 58.8
