    211 CD's must be sold for them to make a profit

    Explanation:

    Fixed costs and variable costs times x must be set equal to the selling price x in order to find out how many CD's must be sold for a profit.

    So:

    1470 + 4x = 11x

    1470 = 11x - 4x

    1470 = 7x

    x = 210

    ∴ 210 Cd's must be sold for them to break even as their revenue will pay for their costs of marketing. This means they have to sell 211 Cd's in order to see a profit.
