Answer provided by our tutors
let 'n' represent the number of costumes sold
total costs:
(3.50 + 6.25)n + 25000
total revenue:
19.99n
profit:
total-revenue - total-costs
19.99n - ((3.5+6.25)n + 25000)
we want to solve for 'n' when profit is 6000
6000 = 19.99n - ((3.5+6.25)n + 25000)
solving for 'n' we have n=3027.343
3,028 costumes must be made and sold per month to make a profit of at least $6,000 per month
