The cost would be the start up cost plus the cost to make z thing-a-ma-bobs.  C(x)=44055+1.97x The revenue is how much the company makes per x thing-a-ma-bobs sold.  R(x)=5.31x In order to make a profit, total revenue has to exceed total cost.  R(x)&amp;gt;C(x) 5.31x&amp;gt;44055+1.97x 3.34x&amp;gt;44055 x&amp;gt;13190.1 Because you can only sell an integer number of thing-a-ma-bobs, the company must sell at least 13191 thing-a-ma-bobs.
