the manager of Sami D's soft pretzels reviewed her monthly operating costs for the past year. her costs ranged from$18,000 for 9,000 pretzels to $16,500 for 6,000 pretzels. calculate the variable cost per pretzel.

calculate the total fixed cost.

write the equation and then calculate the operating costs for 7,500 pretzels.

draw a graph illustrating your total cost under this plan. label the axes, and show at least 3 data points before drawing your total cost line.

compute the breakeven point if each pretzel sells for $2.75. this should naturally appear on your chart. this calculation is a check point for you.
