Answer:

444 thumb drives

Step-by-step explanation:

Break even is the point at which the proceeds are equal to the costs i.e. when Total cost = Total revenue. So using the equations provided, the breakeven point for Burnem Inc. will be 4x + 4884 = 15x, where x is number of thumb drives. We solve for x to get the answer:

4x + 4884 = 15x

4884 = 15x - 4x

4884 = 11x

x = 4884/11

x = 444 thumb drives
