A publisher for a promising new novel figures fixed costs (overhead, advances, promotion, copy editing, typesetting, and so on) at $59 comma 000 , and variable costs (printing, paper, binding, shipping) at $2.30 for each book produced. If the book is sold to distributors for $15 each, how many must be produced and sold for the publisher to break even ? The publisher must produce and sell ? books to break even.

He needs to sell approximately 4331 books to break even

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of books to be produced be = y

Total cost of production ($)

= 55000+2.3(x)

Price of the book sold($)= 15

Total money from sales= 15(x)

For the publisher to break even, the cost must be equal to the total money from sales.

55000+2.3(x)= 15x

55000= 15x-2.3x

55000= 12.7x

55000/12.7= x

4330.71= x

He needs to sell approximately 4331 books to break even

answer:

total cost for tiles and paints is $924.  

step-by-step explanation:

we have been given that a community hall is in the shape of a cuboid. the hall is 40m long 15m high and 3m wide.

the paint will be required for 4 walls and ceiling.

let us find area of walls and ceiling.

therefore, the area of walls and ceiling is 1410 square meters.

given: cost for 10 litre of paint is $10 and 10 litre paint covers 25 square meter. therefore,

therefore, the total painting cost is $564.

tiles will be required for floor. let us find the area of floor.

given: 1m squared floor tiles costs $3. so,

therefore, the total tiles cost is $360.

now let us find combined total cost of tiles and paint.

therefore, the combined total cost of tiles and paint is $924.
