The revenue equation for a certain brand of toothpaste is y=2.6x, where x is the number of tubes of toothpaste sold and y is the total income for selling x tubes. The cost equation is y=x+2000, where x is the number of tubes of toothpaste manufacturers and y is the cost if producing x rubes. For what x-values will the company make a profit?

Respuesta :

From the revenue equation and cost equation , we can say that the company make a profit when x > 1250

Given :

The revenue equation  is y=2.6x,

cost equation is y=x+2000

When the company makes profit only when  revenue > cost

Lets frame inequality using revenue > cost

Replace the revenue equation and cost equation

[tex]Revenue > cost \\2.6x > x+2000[/tex]

Now solve the inequality for x

Subtract 1x from both sides

[tex]2.6x > 1x+2000\\2.6x -1x> 2000\\1.6x > 2000[/tex]

Divide both sides by 1.6

[tex]x>1250[/tex]

The company makes profit when x is greater than 1250
