Break even is the value of t where revenue=cost or R(t)=C(t)
set equal each other
-50t^2+300t=600-50t
multiply both sides by -1
50t^2-300t=50t-600
divide both sides by 50
t^2-6t=t-12
minus t-12 from both sides
t^2-7t+12=0
factor
(t-4)(t-3)=0
set each to zero
t-4=0
t=4
t-3=0
t=3
the cost is $3 or $4
it will first break even at t=3$
The answer is simply 290 pennies divided by 10 pennies per dime. The answer is 29 dimes.
