Question

You decide to market your own custom computer software. You must invest $3,255 for computer hardware, and spend $2.90 to buy and package each disk. If each program sells for $13.75, how many copies must you sell to break even?

Answer 1

you have two sums of money that are compared against each other,

1) $3,255 the fixed cost for hardware,
and $2.90 per disk.

2) income of $13.75 per sold copy.

can you write a term of the equation? (cost or profit)

Answer 2

no do u know it

Answer 3

3,255 / 10.85$

Answer 4

OK, we can try to calculate what profit each sold copy will make

program sells for $13.75
one disk costs $2.90

what profit will you make with each sold software?

Answer 5

300

Answer 6

I got it thanks

Answer 7

basically take the price ur selling each one for, and subtract the price of the package from it, so 13.75$ - 2.90$ = 10.85$, and then simply take the price you spent on equiptment (3,255$) and divide 10.85 from it to get 300
