Question

The cost cc (in dollars) for the fuel and maintenance of a go-cart is given by c=15x+760c=15x+760, where xx is the number of rides. It costs $35 per ride. How many rides does it take to break even

Answer 1

The cost cc (in dollars) for the fuel and maintenance of a go-cart is given by c=15x+760c=15x+760, where xx is the number of rides. It costs $35 per ride. The breakeven point can be solve by equating the cost and profit:

15x+760 = 35x

X = 38 rides to breakeven
