Suppose a company has fixed costs of $41,600 and variable cost per unit of 2 5x + 444 dollars, where x is the total number of units produced. Suppose further that the selling price of its product is 1776 − 3 5x dollars per unit. (a) Find the break-even points. (Enter your answers as a comma-separated list.) x =
