Question

A camera manufacturer spends $2250 each day for overhead expenses plus $6 per camera for labor and materials. The cameras sell for $16 each. How many cameras must the company sell in one day to equal its daily costs? If the manufacturer can increase production by 50 cameras per day, what would their daily profit be?

Answer 1

set it up in an equation. simplifying and solving for x should give you the answer to the first part.
2250 + 6x = 16x
2250=10x
x=225
for the second half find out the amount you'd make from 275 cameras and subtract the costs. that gives you the profit.
16(275)-6(275)-2250
4400-1650-2250=500
