A cookie store's weekly profit is a func...

A cookie store's weekly profit is a function of the number of cookies , c, that it sells . The equation approximating the weekly profit , in dollars , is
f( c)=0.60c-900
Which of the following is a false statement about the weekly profits ?

A

The store needs to sell 1,500 cookies per week to break even (i.e., make neither a profit nor a less).

B

If the store sells no cookies in a week , it will lose $900.

C

If the equation for weekly profit was f(c )=0.40c-900, the store would need to sell fewer cookies than for the original equation in order to break even.

D

if the equation for weekly profit is f(c ) =0.60c-800 , the store would need to sell fewer cookies than for the original equation in order to break even.

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the weekly profit function given by \( f(c) = 0.60c - 900 \) and determine which statement about the weekly profits is false. ### Step 1: Determine the break-even point To find the break-even point, we set the profit function equal to zero: \[ f(c) = 0 \] This gives us the equation: \[ 0.60c - 900 = 0 \]
