Question

the cost c in dollars for the care and maintenance of a horse and carriage is c= 15x+2000, where x is the number of rides. they charge $35/ride. How many rides are needed to break even?

Answer 1

Cost = 15x + 2000
Earning = 35x

At break even, cost = earning

35x = 15x + 2000
20x = 2000
x = 100

100 rides are needed to break even.
