The Lakewood baseball team is selling T-shirts for a fundraiser. The shirts cost $100 for the printing design and setup, plus $10 per shirt. The team is going to sell the shirts for $15 each. How many
shirts does the team need to sell in order to break even?
Let x be the number of shirts the team needs to sell to break even.
Total cost = Total revenue
$100 + $10x = $15x
$100 = $5x
x = 20
The team needs to sell 20 shirts in order to break even.
