The cost for the fuel and maintenance of a go cart is given by c=10x+900 where x is the number of rides. it costs $25 per ride. how mane rides does it take to break even?

To break even, profits must be greater than or equal to the costs.

Set up an inequality where the total earnings from rides (25x) is greater than or equal to the cost of maintaining the rides: ()

Solve for x by subtracting 10x from both sides, then dividing by 15 on both sides:




You will need at least 60 rides to break even.
