Answer:

She needs to sell 45 shirts to break even.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Fixed cost = $ 420,

Material cost for one shirt = $ 6,

So, the Material cost for 80 shirts = $ 480,

Thus, the total expenditure = 420 + 480 = $ 900,

Now, the selling cost of one shirt = $20,

Suppose x shirts were sold,

So, total revenue = selling price of one shirt × number of shirts

= 20x,

For break even,

Total revenue = Total expenditure,

⇒ 20x = 900

Dividing both sides by 20,

x = 45,

Therefore, She needs to sell 45 shirts to break even.
