Shelby can sell her creations for $11 per necklace. Once she makes and sells a certain number of necklaces, she will break even, with identical expenses and sales. What would the total expenses and sales be then? How many necklaces would that take? Shelby would have total expenses and sales $ after selling necklaces.

-43 necklaces.

-total expenses=Sales=$473

Step-by-step explanation:

The breakeven point is the point where the sales revenue equals the expenditure.

-The fixed expenses is $172

-Let x be the number of necklaces sold, the breakeven point is expressed as:

Hence, Shelby has to sell 43 necklaces to breakeven.

#The expenses at the breakeven point is:

Hence, expenses at breakevent point is $473

#Sales is equal to expenses at this point, hence, sales of $473

step-by-step explanation:

use pothagarean therom

a^2+b^2=c^2 so first ac

acm is a right triangle because c= 90°

and am (the hypotenuse or c) =16+9 =25

but there is not enough info we need another angle or side length
