Answer 6

break even ha
what is the equation you established from this load of words?

Answer 7

have you got one yet?

Answer 8

My equation was 1,300 + (10t - 3) = 1,800 + 1,500

Answer 9

hm
denote the profit F and number of ticket n
F(n)=10n-3n-1800-1500

Answer 10

why is this equation right or wrong?

Answer 11

What do you mean?

Answer 12

this equation is just wrote do you thing I'm right or wrong?

Answer 13

Um, I'm not sure. I thought the equation I wrote was ok, but now idk.

Answer 14

hhhh your equation seemed somewhat good but there is something messing

Answer 15

missing*

Answer 16

at any rate, -3n because of each ticket sold we give free hat
the number of hats depend on the number of fans which tells us number of tickets sold

Answer 17

naturally 10n is the what you make not including what you pay for players and worker
and the cost of all free hats

Answer 18

so makes sense that the actual profit is 10n-3n-1800-1500

Answer 19

this is a general equation for the situation

Answer 20

break even is when total cost equal profit

Answer 21

Ok

Answer 22

the profit we desire is 1300
so we have to solve this equation
1300=7n-1800-1500

Answer 23

When using that equation I got 657.143??

Answer 24

if i don't make sense disregard this hehehe

Answer 25

so n=657
no decimal round
this is real life problem

Answer 26

we say roughly 657 tickets to break even

Answer 27

But that's not one of the answer options.

Answer 28

so what are the options

Answer 29

oh i see the options

Answer 30

Let t = number of tickets
Revenue: 10t + 1300
Expenses: 1800 + 1500 + 3t
Break even when revenue = expenses
10t + 1300 = 1800 + 1500 + 3t
7t = 2000
t = 2000/7 = 286

Answer 31

i see where i missed

Answer 32

286 is the exact number of tickets to break even

Answer 33

based on that you need to figure out the smallest number of tickets to break even
