Sarah is the president of the drama club and wants to publish a newspaper expenses are $.90 for printing and mailing each cop plus $600 total for research and writing. The price is the newsletter is $1.50 per copy how many copies of the newsletter must the club sell to break even

The club must sell 1000 newsletters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of newsletter must the club sell to break even,

Since, the expenses are $0.90 for printing and mailing each cop plus $600,

So, the total expenses for x newsletters = 0.90 x + 600,

Also, The price is the newsletter is $1.50 per copy,

⇒ Total revenue after selling x newsletter = 1.50 x

To break even,

Total Revenue = Total expenses

⇒ 1.50x = 0.90x + 600

⇒ 0.60 x = 600 (Subtract 0.90x both sides)

⇒ x = 1000 (Divide both sides by 0.60)

Hence, 1000 newsletter must be sold to break even.

The answer to your question is,

To break even, the drama club must sell 1000 copies.
