The company will break even when the cost is equal to the revenue.
[tex]C(h)=R(h) \\ 20h^2+160=400+220h \\ 20h^2-220h+160-400=0 \\ 20h^2-220h-240=0 \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ |\div 20 \\ h^2-11h-12=0 \\ h^2+h-12h-12=0 \\ h(h+1)-12(h+1)=0 \\ (h-12)(h+1)=0 \\ h-12=0 \ \lor \ h+1=0 \\ h=12 \ \lor \ h=-1 [/tex]
The number of hours must be a positive number, so h=12.
The company breaks even after 12 hours.
