To break even, profits must be greater than or equal to the costs.

Set up an inequality where the total earnings from rides (25x) is greater than or equal to the cost of maintaining the rides: ([tex]25x \geq 10x+900[/tex])

Solve for x by subtracting 10x from both sides, then dividing by 15 on both sides:
[tex]25x \geq 10x+900[/tex]
[tex]15x \geq 900[/tex]
[tex]x \geq 60[/tex]

You will need at least 60 rides to break even.
