I'm thinking Profit would equal Revenue - Cost, is that right?

yw, I don't know that you need calculus.  How do you finish the problem?

anonymous · Answer

so whenever it says break even point I have to use the profit formula? 

well I just did this
20x-12x+20,000=8x-20,000=0 8x=20,000 x=2500 I have an answer sheet and the answer I got it by using the formula u gave me is the same answer I have it on my answer sheet
