A tool manufacturer has fixed costs of $68.00 a day and variable costs of $1.00 per screwdriver
produced. The company gets $2.50 per screwdriver sold. How many screwdrivers must be produced
daily to break even? Your answer should be a number only.

To breakeven, the total cost of the company which is the sum of the fixed and variable cost will be equal to the total sales of the company such that the profit/loss is zero.

Let x be the number of screwdriver that must be produced daily to break even

Then

68 + 1 * x = 2.5 * x

68 + x = 2.5x

collect like terms

68 = 2.5x - x

1.5x = 68

Divide both sides by 1.5

x = 68/1.5

= 45.33

This would be approximated to 46 screws
