We want to open a sightseeing tour to the Sawyer Glacier in Alaska to watch calving. (Calving

originates from immense ponderous fragments of ice, breaking off from the higher parts of the main

body of the glacier which creates a loud, booming noise.) How many trips will it take to break-even?

The costs are $1,932 per trip and the boat costs $175,000. We are charging a $175 per person and

have room for 20 people on our boat.

x = the number of trips
