Discuss OronD's answer to: Break Even

The production of a brand of toothpaste requires a fixed cost of $480,000. The variable cost per unit is $2.00. If 80,000 toothpastes will be sold during the next month, what sale price must be ...

If the sales price to get even is X the equation is: 
480,000 + 80,000 * 2 = 80,000 * X     (divide both sides by 80,000 to get:)
6 +2 = X
X = 8 $

Love is the battery of life....
