Funtime must sell 510 standard quadcopters and 340 deluxe quadcopters every month to breakeven.Funtime must sell 840 standard quadcopters and 560 deluxe quadcopters to earn $ 7,700 monthly.

Explanation:

A. To breakeven, the revenue must equal the total costs.

1. Write the expresssion of revenue

Revenue = price × number of units

Revenue from standard quadcopter

Naming s the number of standard quadcopters sold:

$55 × s = 55s

Revenue from deluxe quadcopter

Naming d the number of deluxe quadcopters sold:

$85 × d = 85d

Total revevue:

55s + 85d

2. Write the expression of cost

Purchase price of standard quadcopters

$45s

Purchase price of deluxe quadcopters

$65d

Fixed monthly expenses

$11,900

Total cost:

45s + 65d + 11,900

3. Relation between number of deluxe quadcopters and standard quadcopters

Two deluxe quadcopters for every three standard quadcopters

d = (2/3)s

4. Substitute d with (2/3)s in the expressions, writhe the equation and solve

Revenue = 55s + 85(2/3)s

Cost = 45s + 65(2/3)s + 11,900

Revenue = Cost

55s + 85(2/3)s - 45s - 65(2/3)s - 11,900 = 0

Multiply the equation by 3, to eliminate the denominators:

165s + 170s - 135s - 130s - 35,700 = 0

Add like terms and add 35,700 to both sides

70s = 35,700

Divide by 70

s = 510

Substitue s in d = (2/3)s

d = (2/3)510 = 340.

Therefore, Funtime must sell 510 standard quadcopters and 340 deluxe quadcopters every month to breakeven.

B. To earn $7,700

Profit = revenue - cost

7,700 = 55s + 85(2/3)s - 45s - 65(2/3)s - 11,900

Add 11,900 to both sides

19,600 = 55s + 85(2/3)s - 45s - 65(2/3)s

Mutliply the equation by 3:

58,800 = 165s + 170s - 135s - 130s

Do the operations:

58,800 = 70ss = 58,800 / 70 = 840

d = (2/3)840 = 560

Hence, Funtime must sell 840 standard quadcopters and 560 deluxe quadcopters to earn $ 7,700 monthly.
