A small publishing company is planning to publish a new book. The production costs will include one-time fixed costs (such as editing) and variable costs (such as printing). The one-time fixed costs will total $44,376. The variable costs will be $8.25 per book. The publisher will sell the finished product to bookstores at a price of 19 per book. How many books must the publisher produce and sell so that the production costs will equal the money from sales?

4,128 books

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = number of books

Fixed cost = $44,376

Variable cost = $8.25 per book

Total cost = fixed cost + variable cost

Total cost = 44,376 + 8.25x

Selling price of book = $19 per book

Total revenue = 19x

How many books must the publisher produce and sell so that the production costs will equal the money from sales?

Total cost = Total revenue

44,376 + 8.25x = 19x

44,376 = 19x - 8.25x

44,376 = 10.75x

x =44,376/10.75

x = 4,128 books

The publisher must produce and sell 4,128 books so that the production costs will equal the money from sales

since your problem is x^4 = 81, what you have to undeo is the "to the fourth power" part.

the inverse (opposite operation) of "to the fourth power" is "to the fourth root".

  (x^4) ^ ¼   = 81 ^ ¼  

  81 = 3^4     so (3 ^ 4) ^ ¼   =   3 ^ 1   = 3

by hand: (3 ^ 4) ^ ¼   =   3 ^ (4 x ¼) = 3 ^ 1   = 3   (when you take a power to a power, multiply the exponents.)

or, do it by calculator. one way of finding the fourth root is to use ^ (1/4)
