There were free rentals given away to new members.
2. The point at which a company's costs equal its revenues is the break-even point. C represents the cost, in dollars, of x units of a product and R represents the revenue, in dollars, from the sale of x units. Find the number of units that must be produced and sold in order to break even. That is, find the value of x for which C=R.
C= 16x+450 and R= 18.5x.
How many units must be produced and sold in order to break even?
