Let x be the number of books produced.
The cost for the first method is given by:
Cost1 = 21370 + 18.25x
The cost for the second method is given by:
Cost2 = 56722 + 9.25x
Set the two costs equal to find when they are the same:
21370 + 18.25x = 56722 + 9.25x
Solve for x:
Therefore, the costs from the two methods will be the same when 3,928 books are produced.
